On August 30, 2010, I decided to visit the 86th Floor Observatory Deck of the Empire State Building. It was a very hot, sunny day. The sun was blinding. For a few more bucks, one can go to the 102nd Floor. The building opened on May 1, 1931. For more information, please click here. Also see Page LL and Page XX for similar views but taken from Top of The Rock. |
