Shawn and I did the most touristy thing we could possibly do in New York City: we took a trip up the Empire State Building. It was my second time there, the first time during my senior year art trip in high school. But I figured since it was Shawn's first time in New York, we should go so he could experience it. Whether you think it's worth paying $18 or not, I think everyone should go up the Empire State Building at least once in their lives.
When you're actually walking in Manhattan, you never bother looking up because there's already so much going on at ground level. So it's a really refreshing perspective when you're looking down on Manhattan, especially at night, where everything's quiet and the city's just beautifully illuminated.
I have never been up to the Empire State Building! There was always a crazy lineup and I couldn't be bothered. It will make it FOR SURE the next time I go.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics BTW. :)
We didn't have to wait at all when we went! To be fair, February is in the off-season. But we did also go on a Wednesday evening, so I guess it's probably smarter to go on a weekday. But yeah, totally worth going, and I'm sure you'd take some insanely epic pictures with your DSLR, too! :)
