Empire State Building

We saved this landmark for the end of our visit..... turned out to be a good idea.... we were really able to see so many of the places we have visited during the month.  We arrived early (before 9) and it was really worth it.... we walked right past all the maze of ropes that are used when it is crowded....
Since I had been there with Beth the path to the elevators has definitely been improved.   The art deco interior is stunning and they have added a photo and artifact area that is very enjoyable before the elevators to the Observatory.   We had read on Trip Advisor not to bother with the 102nd floor and we found it to be true.....great view from the 86th floor and at the higher level we may have been above the clouds!
