tl’dr
- if you can pay the entrance from leftover peanuts and bring a friend? By all means, go for it
- if you think tickets are fckn expensive for a view? Don’t. It’s exactly what you get – a very expensive view, not worth it SHRUG
long version
- missed my station going there
- extremely confused by the lack of helpful signs telling me where to go, starting with the best exit from the station to which way to go topside
- tf if anybody knows where the ESB is
- can’t I just look up? bby, dude, luv, there be big-ass houses all around. I see nothing
- had a chili-cheese hot dog and regretted it immediately
- can’t recommend but at least no longer starving
- found the entrance, was admitted 1 hour early
- why is nobody wearing a mask?!?!?!?!
- it’s French Day (ich spreche noch immer kein Französisch)
- wtf is the floor made of? (scratches gently)
- feels like an airport, but you can keep your drink
- picture point at the entrance, I de-mask and wonder if that goes extra
- fun little tour about the building’s history
- is it worth 40 bucks? I think not
- elevator ceiling show to distract from how fckn fast this thing goes
- schade eigentlich, ich liebe Aufzüge die HUIII!!!! machen 😔
- a floor for views, people are not looking as they leave (not to self for later)
- I spy with my bleary eye: the Statue of Liberty – hm, hab ich mir größer vorgestellt, maybe it’s the distance
- nice enough views, bric-a-brac to look at, long queue out
- 10 mins into the wait a surge forwards
- I claim the windows alongside the queue and thread my way back in later
- another 10 mins into the wait the announcement that we do not have to wait for the elevator in this queue, we can also take the stairs for the last 6 floors (cue another rush)
- coming to the conclusion that NYC can do with some more directive signs, arrows and such
- stairs – huff puff, so many fckn stairs
- why does floor 85 exist twice? 🤨
- short existential crisis of having another 5 floor 85s
- nah, we’re up
- can’t sit on the shiny broad stairs 😔
- bench miraculously becomes free enough for my ass as I approach. Yay
- outside it fuckin wimdy
- not as packed as feared
- nice views, worth 40 bucks? I think not
- walk around once, stare into the distance and down
- good sir, are you sure you wanna hold the mobile over the edge for taking pics?
- Need the number of mobiles dropped each year ASAP
- going down the stairs is easier
- once again Very Bad Beschriftung strikes
- ESB: has gift shop out the back
- me: that’s the guy I’m after
- time to pic up that pic shot at the entrance – for 26 BUCKS?
- another gift shop that hasn’t grasped the concept that I have burned all my money on the ticket already, smh
- buying absolutely nothing again
- ah, NOW we get to the pretty marble-y part
- the hall is rather ostentatious
- still, I am disappoint
- do not recommend
- heading to Starbucks for liquid pick-me-up
