"Let's Smell All These People and Get Out of Here"



This is an actual quote from the top of the Empire State Building. The ESB does not close until 1 am, which is good for me and Brad, because it means we probably won't be late. One of the coolest things is that your ears start popping about the 20th floor and pop about 3 more times before you get to 86.
A few traveling tips:
1- If you are looking for romantic, pay the extra $15 and go to the 102nd floor. Or go closer to midnight. We went about 9 and it was jam-packed.
2- Go in a couple years when the construction is done.
3- Maybe bring a map

It was beautiful, even amidst all the craziness. We had a good time taking pictures of ourselves and some for other people. Brad had perfected his camera's functions by then, and this couple who happened to have pretty much the same camera asked us to take their picture. Brad messed around with it a bit and took an amazing picture of them. They were so excited.
There are a lot of languages spoken up there!!
