When in New York, one has to see the Empire State Building, we can all agree on that, right? Unfortunately, (I know this is mean, but I shall rave on about it, just because it's so hilarious!) I was with a group of people who truly believed that the Empire State Building was in fact not the Empire State Building, but the Chrysler Building. Luckily, a few days prior to our (true) Empire State Building visit, a quick educational talk and much convincing fixed the misconception and everyone had the facts straight. We were ready to hit the actual one and only Empire State Building.
83 stories and 381 meters (1250 ft) further up, one of the most beautiful and inexplicable views expected me. The entire city, including the (actual ... NOT) Empire State Building lay to our feet. As Russell Peters would say, it was miiiiindblasssting!!!
After standing at a height of 381 meters for a good 30 minutes, we had worked up a hunger and ran into the closest Mexican restaurant that was in fact a Hawaiian restaurant, but served Tacos and Burritos nonetheless?! Odd, I know!
It was too late to really sight-see and too early for night-y things. The closest sight that was remotely sight-y and listed in my guide, was the public library. Again, beautiful place. I wish my uni would have a library like that. High ceilings, huge amounts of books, free wi-fi, etc.
Later that night, we went to "Lombardi's Pizza", which was the first pizza place in America, opened in 1897. That was quite exciting actually. The place is always full and the pizza is alright.
Omnom! Goodnight!
