Empire State Building Is Overrated

Ok - the second day in New York, and I visited the Emire State Building. It was totally overrated. The $19 ticket to get to the top floor, in my opinion was not worth it, just because of the hour and half long wait in various queue, and also the shouting salesmen who were selling god-knows-what.

The view up there on the 86th floor was good. It was crowded as expected, but at the end of the day (or the two hour fiasco that felt like a day), I felt it was not the money's worth. Empire State Building is totally overrated.

In my opinion, just roam the streets of New York, or ride the subway - it is a much more richer experience, and worth the expenditure.
