The Empire State Building

When exploring New York City, there are several different options for activities during
a day trip. Some visitors come to see a show, visit art museums, or simply to shop in
many of the city’s high-end retailers. However, many tourists simply come to New York
City for the sightseeing. One of the most visited landmarks in New York City is the
Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building, constructed in 1931, is a 102-story skyscraper, the ninth
highest building in the world, and the fourth tallest structure in the United States. It is
located in Midtown, Manhattan. This skyscraper is an iconic symbol of the city, having
been featured in over 90 popular movies (as of 2018) throughout film history. Tourists
come from all over the world to visit this building and view the city from its famous
observation decks.
Matthew, an enthusiast of historic buildings, was excited for this trip to New York City
because he has always appreciated architectural design. Matthew purchased a ticket
that granted him access to beautiful 360-degree views of the city. The ticket included
an elevator ride that stopped at two different vantage points, one at the 86th floor and
the other at the rooftop observatory on the 102nd floor. From these observation decks,
Matthew took incredible photographs of the entire New York City skyline. The rooftop
views granted Matthew perfect aerial perspectives of Central Park, the Brooklyn
Bridge, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and many other important city landmarks.

The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty, arguably one of New York City’s most iconic symbols, is a
popular tourist attraction for first-time visitors to the city. This 150-foot monument was
gifted to the United States from France in order to celebrate 100 years of America’s
independence. The statue is located on Liberty Island, and it is accessible by taking a
ferry from either Battery Park in New York City or Liberty State Park in Jersey City.
When Claire visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time, she instantly admired it as a
symbol of freedom. Claire made sure to make reservations before her visit because
only 240 people are permitted to climb the staircase to the top of the statue every day.
After climbing almost 400 stairs, Claire received spectacular views of the city from the
statue’s crown.
During her visit, Claire learned that the Statue of Liberty was not always the color that
it is now. She found out that because the statue’s exterior is made of copper, the
statue oxidized over time, giving it the greenish appearance it has in present day.
When it was first constructed, the statue was the same color as a shiny penny!
After touring the Statue of Liberty, Claire spent the rest of the day in New York City
visiting other important monuments and historic landmarks. Claire left New York
hoping to have had the time to explore more sites, but she can’t wait to return to the
city in the future.
