Today I went to the top of the Empire State Building for the first time since moving to New York City, or in my adult memory for that matter. It's one of those things you reserve for tourists, or for when you'll have to to show a visitor around (today I brought my friends from Idaho there), but it really was cool getting to look out on the whole city. We went at the perfect time - a little before sunset fell - which got us up to the top before all of the major evening crowds hit. I definitely recommend spending the $19 (for adults) on a nice day and making your way up there, and in the mean time you can check out my photos.
