Walking back along 34th street we caught some views of The Empire State Building. What else is there to say about this iconic building?

When I first arrived in NY in the 1970s it had just been surpassed as the world’s tallest building (a position it had held for almost 40years), by the World Trade Center, tragically destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Now, 50 years later it’s the 54th tallest building in the world, but it will always have a special place in my heart. Incredibly, the current world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is more than twice its height.

Despite all of the above it’s not my favorite NY City building, which continues to be the Chrysler Building.
