Night at the Empire State Building


Going to a tourist attraction at night was a strange experience, but at least it was open. Macy’s was just kicking out as we walked past. Once we’d found the correct entrance, we walked into a marble lobby with a large picture carved into a wall. A uniformed bellhop pointed us in the direction of the ticket queue and once our money had been extracted; we were free to board. Gone was the virtual roller coaster from last time; instead Kevin Bacon narrates from a TV screen as you climb the lift. And we didn’t have to wait long. We spent an hour at the top trying to take in every view from every angle. I didn’t even realise that H&M was a thing stateside. What I did do was try and discover which building was being used as Stark Tower for the Avengers movies. We didn’t realise at the time that we could get a deal to climb the top of the Rockefeller as well but we wanted to tick off as many places as possible.
