The Empire State Building was constructed in 1931, and remained the tallest building in the world for 40 years. Being the building geek that I am, this was high on my list of "must do's"...hey, I do buildings for a living. (It could be worse....it could be a sewer plant!)

Looking south towards Lower Manhattan. Fifth Avenue goes up the middle of the photo, and Broadway crosses diagonally at the Flatiron Building.
