Empire State Building
The Empire State Building(ESB) is located in New York City(NYC), New York(NY). It is another great thing about the state of NY. This building stands 102 stories high, over 700 ft. tall. After the destruction of the World Trade Center it was, for the second time, the tallest building in NYC. It was built in 1931, and opened to the public on May 1st. It is an Art Deco skyscraper. It is located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Today it is one of the seven wonders of the world. People are allowed to take an elevator to the top of this magnificent building, but there is usually a two and a half hour wait. The ESB has programs for kids that are there with their parents. The kids can go to the observatory, located on the 86th and 102nd floors. The building is also one of the world's top tourist attractions. it is a National Historic and NYC landmark. Each year over 3.5 million people are whisked to the 86th floor to be where Cary Grant waited in vain for Deborah Kerr in an "Affair to Remember", while Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan had their fateful meeting in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle."

As a result the ESB is one great building, and I think you would really enjoy a trip to see this amazing landmark.
