With an Alicia Keys song named after this magnificent monument, it is no wonder that it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in New York City. The Empire State Building is an icon of New York, touching the sky with its antenna at a glorious 443m. Open all year round; visitors are allowed on the 86th and 102nd storeys to experience a panoramic view of the city that is unbeatable. Additionally, the building promotes a “green” mentality at its exhibit on the 2nd floor, with a plan to cut down its own resource usage drastically. So head down (or up) to this unmissable structure, and let your eyes feast upon the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, and other attractions that are truly New York. Just look out for giant, overgrown gorillas that might suddenly climb up the tower on a rampage.
