We booked the sunrise ticket for two reasons; firstly, the idea of watching the sunrise over NYC from the Empire state building promised some pretty spectacular photos and secondly, the tickets are limited to 100 guests so we knew it would be quiet up there for this viewing, having been before I know it can get quite crowded up there at peak times. When we woke up that morning to a dense fog we were slightly disappointed but headed over no the less. Well we should not have been concerned as the fog gave a set of spectacular photos and an experience like no other, the sight of the other skyscrapers of Manhatten peaking out of the clouds was unreal. The staff were amazing, when we arrived and checked in we were warned that there was no visibility and we would not get to see the sunrise and offered to either rebook for another Saturday sunrise or go on up and then also get a return ticket for later that day. We chose to go up. We were escorted up by KEVIN who was extremely friendly and gave us the VIP treatment all the way up to the top.

Empire State Building is one of the iconic buildings of Manhattan. It has an amazing view. Wandering among the gigantic skyscrapers of Manhattan, it reminds us how small a place one occupies in this world. This building gives different feeling. Also when I looked to city, I was listening Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind Part 2

ESB was included with our pass, but we were looking for something a little more special. So, we decided to go for the upgrade and visit and dawn. That decision led to the best experience of our New York visit. Yes, we have all climbed tall things at marveled at the sights that could be seen, but being in the clouds at dawn is something that is difficult to describe in large part because it was so unexpected. Instead of forcing you to read a lot of extra words, I’ll make a list instead: 1) The air is clear because it hasn’t had all day to absorb the pollution; 2) The city is actually quiet (as quiet as New York can be); 3) The crowd was more than 40, so now elbows needed to be shoved into ribs; 4) The service was excellent; and 5) The silhouette of ESB on the nearby clouds? Just, wow!
