Undoubtedly the best way to see NYC. As you walk around the city you'll notice that the building are so tall that you can rarely view more than a block at once. The Empire State Building allows you to see the entire city and even parts of New Jersey. I went the day after New Year's and it was incredibly crowded - the wait was an hour and 45 ...

Only bad thing about the ESB experience is the tourists. Too many create long lines.

The Lines were long the elevators crowded, but when you finally reach the top, the view is breathtaking! All of Manhattan lay in front of you to enjoy. Definitely worth the time and money to view.

We can't wait to go back next year

We loved every minute of the experience from start to finish.
do you want to spend an hour an half waiting in line to go to another 45 min line so they can stick you for terrible photos. then after you finally get done looking at the view ,you wait in line foe another 30 min to get down.
The view of New York from the Empire State Building is amazing. The line ups are very long, so to save time buy your tickets ahead of time. We waited over an hour to get to the top and once up there it's very crowded. It's a must do if you go to NY, but be ready for a long wait.

Standing on the observation deck was a bit anti-climactic since ...
