00:00Alright folks, today is Sunday, March 8th, 2020.
00:06I am at the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building Observatory.
00:12I had to pay 78 bucks to come up here, and let me tell you, this view from this observatory
00:19here, even though it's a small observatory, is so incredible, unbelievable.
00:29Take a look down there, you can see all of downtown Manhattan, Queens, Long Island City.
00:43It's so amazing, wow.
00:47I'm going to zoom into certain landmark buildings and tell you what they are.
00:52Right there is the One World Observatory, the Freedom Tower.
00:56I was there a few days ago, the view from that observation tower is amazing also.
01:05That's currently the tallest building in the United States in the Western Hemisphere at
01:121776 feet tall.
01:18This here is the Flatiron Building at 23rd Street and 5th Avenue and Broadway, iconic
01:24because of its shape, like a triangle, like a flat iron.
01:29Look at how small everything is here from up here, they all look like ants.
01:36Madison Square Park to the left.
01:43This here is the MetLife Insurance Company Tower, iconic building.
01:50This building is also a MetLife building with a yellow top, it used to be home to the
01:55original Madison Square Garden.
02:02I see the neighborhoods of the Lower East Side over there, and Chinatown, you can make
02:09out the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge over there.
02:16And you can even see the Statue of Liberty there.
02:19This is as close as my camera zooms in, but it's there in New York Harbor.
02:25That's the Financial District, another New York City skyline on the bottom.
02:37There's the Con Edison Generating Plant of the Lower East Side, where I'm looking at
02:43right now is Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
02:55That's the FDR Drive over there.
03:02I think I'm going to go this way because that side is more crowded, it's going to be hard
03:07to look around.
03:14Over there is downtown Jersey City, Exchange Place, right across the waters of the Hudson
03:22River.
03:25Look at this helicopter, it doesn't even seem that high from up here, at the 102nd floor
03:30of the Empire State Building.
03:39I can make out Hoboken over there, there's all the ship terminals.
03:48Here's one of the newest neighborhoods in New York City, the Hudson Yards.
03:53That right there is going to be the newest observation deck opening, the Edge Observatory.
04:00I'll be going there on March 11th, that's the opening day.
04:07This here is all the neighborhood of Chelsea, Manhattan.
04:17This wide street here is 34th Street, one of the widest cross-town streets in New York
04:23City.
04:25There's the Macy's building, the Macy's headquarters.
04:30Self-proclaimed the world's largest store, but it's only the world's largest store in
04:34the United States.
04:37There's another largest store in Korea, I think someone told me about that one.
04:45This here is the New Yorker building.
05:01This neighborhood over here is the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen.
05:14That here is the Grace Tower, very unique architectural shape.
05:23There's Bryan Park on 42nd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
05:29New York Public Library is over there somewhere, but you can't really make it out too well.
05:36That's the Salesforce Tower, behind it is the Bank of America Tower.
05:41Next to it is the H&M building at Times Square.
05:44It's hard to make out Times Square from here because of all the tall buildings around it,
05:48but you can see there the pink billboard there that's constantly changing, you definitely
05:54know that's Times Square from there.
05:59Right there you see the Central Park Tower on 57th Street, billionaire's row, the George
06:05Washington Bridge in the background, and the neighborhood of Fort Lee, New Jersey on
06:11the other side.
06:18Here's another super tall residential tower going up, you see Central Park in the distance
06:24with the Central Park Reservoir in the middle.
06:28The neighborhoods of Harlem and Manhattan.
06:42And over here on the bottom you see 5th Avenue, very grand, wide street.
06:55I see the spire there of St. Patrick's Cathedral, designed in the Neo-Gothic style.
07:03This here is the Comcast building, home of the famous Top of the Rock observation tower
07:11in Rockefeller Center.
07:16This over here is 432 Park Avenue, the tallest residential tower in the world, known only
07:21by its street address, but I think that will change when the Central Park Tower starts
07:27admitting residents, because that one will be the tallest residential tower.
07:35Over here is the Vanderbilt Tower being built next to the Grand Central Terminal, and the
07:41MetLife building behind Grand Central Terminal, formerly known as the Pan Am building.
07:47That one's designed in the Brutalist style, it was mocked when it first opened as being
07:53an architecturally ugly building.
08:03There's the famous Chrysler building designed by William Van Allen, in the distance there
08:12that's the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, connecting Midtown Manhattan to the neighborhoods of
08:21Long Island City and Astoria, Queens.
08:25Over there, that's the Con Ed plant at Ravenswood, Long Island City.
08:32I also see the RFK Triborough Bridge there, and the Hellgate Bridge.
08:38The Hellgate Bridge carries only train traffic.
08:42I see the Borough of the Bronx over there, the Mott Haven Borough of the Bronx, neighborhood
08:49of the Bronx I should say.
08:51I see Harlem, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights up there, the Upper West Side of Manhattan,
09:00Upper East Side.
09:12Here's the continuation of 34th Street all the way to the East River there.
09:21This building I always find very unique.
09:25I don't know the name of this Bendy building though, but I find it very interesting.
09:33There I see Hunter's Point South and Long Island City.
09:40And over there is the FDR 4 Freedoms Park and Roosevelt Island.
09:58Here's Midtown East over here.
10:17And now we're back over to the other side where I started.
10:26This street going diagonally across Manhattan is Broadway, so it continues all the way down
10:35there.
10:36And here's the Financial District.
10:42You can see the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge off in the distance connecting Bay Ridge to the
10:49Borough of Staten Island.
10:55Let's try to zoom in very far, let's see what we can see.
11:00Very far in the distance there you can make out Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan
11:05Beach.
11:07All through that you can see all the way to the end of Brooklyn, so you have neighborhoods
11:11like Borough Park, Sunset Park, Gowanus, Park Slope is there, Red Hook which is very far
11:20over there, that's Red Hook over there.
11:28I see Williamsburg, you can probably even make out East Williamsburg, Bushwick, those
11:35areas of Brooklyn.
11:43I see the skyscrapers along Tent Avenue, the waterfront of Brooklyn.
11:52There's the Pulaski Bridge.
11:57And over there is the Kosciuszko Bridge.
12:12And here I am back at the area where I started.
