Empire State Building
Description
High-speed elevators shoot visitors up 1,050 feet to the Art Deco masterpiece’s 86th-floor observatory, where you can either peer out at the city from the comfort of a glass-enclosed pavilion or brave the elements on the open-air decks lining all four sides of the ESB. Daily 8am–10pm: The New York Skyride Visitors take a motion-picture tour over, through and below the city streets ($29.50, seniors and students $22.50, children 6–12 $16).
