    I lived in NYC all my life and spent a ton of time in the Herald Square area for work and pleasure. This year, I decided to visit on my birthday last month, along with the Vessel and the Edge. I was the first person on line at 11 a.m. and purchased the ticket the day before. I loved how empty it was, and it was a perfectly sunny, clear day.

    I brought my daughter for her first visit last month and she really wanted to go to the top of the Empire State Building. We went at night, and with the new museum exhibit to visit first, it was totally worth it. She loved being above the city and, since it had been 33 years since my last visit to the ESB, I loved it too.

    I didn't see the Empire State Building when I was in NYC. Literally. It was before you were born, in the late 60's, and there was a brownout and pollution mess. My Dad took us to Rockefeller Center instead and the pollution was so bad, we couldn't see the streets, the river or the ESB from the top. Thanks for the great tour.

    The Empire State Building is the best because of it's art deco design and artistry. Some modern skyscrapers are just metal boxes. Never been to the Edge, but it does look cool. The old World Trade Center was just a box but I have fond memories being at Windows on the World at sunset having drinks and appetizers while looking down on The Statue of Liberty. 🗽

    Hi Jon, I first visited NYC in 2017. Same as you were a kid, my daughter was also 8 years old and she and I were so impressed by the views on the empire state observation deck. All the sparkling lights, I still remember her saying: wow dad, the world is so big 😊
    After 2017 I visited NYC 3 more times.
    I live in Belgium and was planning to come to NYC this year but due to the pandemic it wasn't possible.
    Next year I'll hope to be back. I would really love to meet you in real life!
    Your videos are the best. I'm always waiting for the next video to come. Keep making these!

    I‘ve been to One World and Top Of The Rocks. For me the One World had the best views with Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan as well as the Empire State Building. The sunset there was terrific but in the night you had bad luck taking pictures because of the glass and the lightning, Top of the Rocks was totally different with their open platforms - wonderful view over Manhattan including the central park. To be honest: I think all of them are really pricy (e.g. 38$ for One World). So if you would have to decide: for the classic New York View: Top of the Rocks. For something totally different (water, Brooklyn, being over 400 metres high) visit One World

    The one time I went up there the elevators broke at the 85th floor. We were given a choice to climb the stairs to the top or not. Here I thought "Well, it's only sixteen floors, not great but, not so bad." Oh, how wrong I was!! The stairs are very, very narrow and there was a huge crowd behind me all the way up that all seemed to be younger and fitter than I was. I was literally gasping for breath and my muscles were screaming in pain by the top I got to the top. You simply could not stop anywhere and the pace all the way up was a sprint. The view was nice but, I wouldn't do that again. Top of the Rock or another local high building. No more Empire State Building except for lower floors! FYI the architecture in the building is lovely.

    I really love these videos as they provide so much information :) Back before the pandemic you made travel guides of places to explore in different parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. I think it would be so cool if you could update these videos to show what it is like since COVID-19, the places that are open, and your top recommendations.
