    To go to the 105th story from the 86th you have to buy an extra ticket.

    Go to Royale Burgers. Skip the burger and get the chicken sandwich and a pork slap. Ask for special sauce.

    Do NOT do the Skyride. It's a scam not affiliated with the Empire State Building. Buy tickets inside, not from the people in blue standing outside harassing tourists as they get out of cabs.

    Don't listen to the guys selling tickets outside. Lied and said it was over 2 hours without an express pass. Said express pass (extra 10) would have us up in 25 minutes. Took 1hr:15min. Total waste.
