Got to go up to the top of the Empire State Building and look around. Only thing I remember is how much I wanted to get back down to the ground! It was 104 stories up IIRC, couldn't imagine being up higher then that. And I know NYC has buildings taller then that now, but you have to realize, this trip was back in 1956!
No shame bro.

I was raised in that city, and my earliest fear was going up that elevator as a small child, my scary experience was in the WTC rather than the empire state building, but I understand.

Man I hate heights!

Back on topic, it costs way less to go up in the Sears tower, empire state, or space needle.

Way higher too!

But a great ploy to keep tourists away, I wish we would have thought of it here in the USA. Would keep all the tourists out of the city, nothing worse than some moron trying to stop and take a picture of a building in the middle of a sidewalk with hundreds of working people on it. (I invite you to NYC to experience this)

Yeah the buildings are huge, *click, shutter* now move it, most of us work, and got places to be.

I am sure Londoners feel the same. Take your pic and move, most of us got stuff to do!
