The 86th floor Observatory of the Empire State Building offers panoramic views from within a glass enclosed pavilion and from the surrounding open-air promenade.

Since the Observatory opened to the public in 1931, almost 110 million visitors have visited the deck for a view of the city beneath them.

Take a look before you decide to go up there.
