Tallest Building

The Empire State Building is enjoying its renewed status as the tallest building in NYC. For $20 you get to ride to the 86th floor observatory. For and additional $15 you can ride all the way up to the 102nd floor where they built a zeppelin port.

It really wasn't terribly busy based on the number of roped off areas, but we still had to wade through lines for about 30 minutes. Once we made it to the elevators we suddenly became very important.

We had a sleeping baby in a stroller.

This imbued us with rock star status as we were hustled to a personal elevator to the 80th floor. Once there, we were once again given our own elevator to the observatory on the 86th. We probably skipped about 10 minutes of line.
