New York at night

I went up to the top of the Empire State Building a couple of nights ago. I went up there with my cousin who was visiting from Puerto Rico and had never been to the building.

When I called to see if they were still open the person who answered the phone told me that if visibility dropped then they would close early, but it turned out to be a very beautiful night. You could see all the boroughs and New Jersey. I do not get tired of looking at New York from that elevation especially at night. The cars look like LEDs on an electronic panel, and all the lights against the deep black it is just amazing.

WE went up to the 102 floor. Once you reach the 86th floor they make you take a older elevator; one of those where you have to move the level back and forth to make it move. An older gentleman, I figure he help build the building itself by the looks of his age, was in charge of taking you up and down. "I hope you enjoy your visit to the Empire State Building" he said, mechanically. I felt tired just by looking at him.

My cousin really enjoyed the visit to the Empire State Building. I'm glad he did; I take pride in showing off my city, more so to people that have never been here before.

Did you know that the electricity used to power this building for one day is enough to power alight bulb for 100 years? Go ahead and drop by 34th street and Fifth Ave for a unique experience on top of New York's tallest building: the Empire State.
