As (long ago) Promised: Pictures from the Empire State Building

A view from the bottom.

Looking north-east-ish.

A better view of the Chrysler Building.

Looking south-east-ish. The Brooklyn Bridge is visible.

St. Patrick's Cathedral on 5th Ave.

Looking north-west-ish at the George Washington Bridge.

Looking north over Central Park. The large tan building blocking your view of Central Park (topped with a GE sign) is Rockefeller Center.

Looking down on some tall buildings.

A view south of the financial district. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are indistinctly visible.

A better view of the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island.

The famous Flatiron building.

We didn't know the occasion, but there's a large rooftop party going on here (you may need to click the picture for a better view).

Sam doing her best Lady Liberty impersonation. Luckily she didn't actually purchase the pointy visor...she simply borrowed it for a good time.
