Altitude-wise it’s not the highest point in the city,

but attitude-wise it is. Visitors travel from the

ground up 67 floors in a futuristic sky shuttle

elevator, highlighted by a glass ceiling and blue

hues of light. Two Grand Viewing Decks are below

the 70th floor (which is the actual top) and includes

a 360 degree panoramic view. They say you can see

for 80 miles on a clear day. Witness the Plaza

below, the Statue of Liberty to the South, Central

Park to the North, the bridges to the East and

glorious New Jersey to the West and of course, a

bird’s eye view of the Empire State Building.
