These are some of the photos I took from the Empire State Building during my trip to Manhattan. We got VIP access to the top, a journey that I wouldn't have otherwise taken. Evidently there are 3.5 million people that visit each year. They line you up, pass you through security, take your photo in front of a green screen and then pass you up to the 80th floor. Once you make it to the 80th floor, you wait. The entire floor is dedicated to keeping you inline... one more elevator ride and you arrive at the observation area. It's certainly a bit congested, and quite a bit windier than down on the street level, the views are phenomenal, a bit surreal actually.
