1. I'm going to describe a very famous building in New York: the
Empire State Building. People might not think of it as an old building, but the
Empire State Building was built in 1931, so I don't think it can be classed as
new. It's located on Manhattan island and it's probably the most distinctive
and recognisable building when you look at New York's skyline.
2. As far as I know, the Empire State Building is an office building,
but visitors can go up to an observation deck on the top floor, which is the
102nd floor. There's also a 360-degree observation area on the 86th floor.
Apparently, the building makes more money from the sale of tickets to the
observation floors than it does from office rentals.
3. I think the Empire State Building is still one of the most
impressive skyscrapers in the world. It's such an iconic structure, and it's
amazing to think that it was built around 80 years ago. The best thing about
the building is the viewing deck on the top floor, which offers spectacular
views of the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in New York. I'd recommend
anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the view.
