New York 5

The Magic of The Empire State Building will be there forever.  Visitors flock to this building in their hoards, and the queues can be unbearably long.  You can buy a fast track ticket, which sends you to the front of every queue (there are two queues for going up and two for coming down), but if you can't afford that, then you just have to wait in the line.  They are not as organised as the Top of the Rock, so it can be frustrating.  However - it is totally worth it when you get there, as it takes your breath away.

Look very carefully, and you can just see Miss Liberty
in the centre of the picture.

 And the Empire State building affords a very nice view of the Chrysler Building.......

For different views of Manhattan, try the Top of the Rock.  No queues to get up here, and the views are just as stunning.

More pictures to follow, but that was a little taster......
