I first visited the Empire State Building when I was in elementary school. It was one of my first big trips as a kid, and every part of New York was new for me. The size of the skyscrapers, and the vast amount of buildings throughout the city were all encompassing for me. When we got to the Empire State Building, it felt very surreal to see in person. As a building that has appeared on thousands of different tv shows and movies, it’s almost like meeting a celebrity in real life. The view from the top was just as impressive as looking up at the height of the building. Overall, it was a very memorable experience.
