I was at Koreatown (on 32nd Street and 5th Avenue) for dinner earlier last week and this was what I saw as I looked up above me. The triangular shapes on the upper right and lower left corners are store front awnings. The structure on the upper left corner is the building behind me. And right in the middle is the most celebrated building in New York City, if not the country.I have a confession -- I have lived in NYC for almost 10 years and I have never been inside the Empire State Building.
Do tell us something that people won't have guessed about you.

That's weird! I've been to the ESB about a dozen times and I never lived in NYC! ;)
I took my wife there when we first started dating... almost 14 years ago.
that's a revelation! so why? what is stopping you to enter? =)
Ming... I got a New Year Resolution for You !!! Visit the Empire State Building !!!
You really should go there at dusk and wait upstairs ubtil the night, it's wondeful !
Nice Photo Though...
I was born in Brittany and I'm still living there and I have never been to "la Pointe du Raz", the last peace of land in the West of Brittany (so the outside limit of the earth!), one of the most famous site for French people..."Quoi???Tu n'as jamais été à la Pointe du Raz???"
But I have been to the top of the Empire State Building, hé hé!
sa majesté, le roi de NYC, le phare de NYC : l'ESB. une tres belle perspective
Her Majesty, the King of NYC, the lighthouse NYC: ESB . A very good prospect
What a great pic of such an iconic building! The Chrysler Building is still my favourite though....may I request a Ming-inspired shot please?? ;o)
Not many people know I want to write a novel. More people will know now though...hahahahahahaha!! :oP
Don't feel bad about that. Lots of people have never been in the Empire State Building. I have never been there or in New York City and still don't feel under-privileged.
It is a nice photograph of a lot of people working or a lot of janitors cleaning and the top part is a lot of electricity. I guess the city is not going Green yet. LOL
When I visited NYC for the first time, 43 years ago, there were not yet any twin towers and the visit to Empire State was "compulsory"! Now, you can ask, have I been to the top of the Eiffel Tower? (The answer is yes, once as a visiting tourist in my youth and once - to show it to my kids - during the 33 years I have lived here.)
Love it, Ming. This is one of my favorite 'iconic New York' photos of your's.
You are an amazing photographer. Come to Parson's, go at night or on the weekends like me!
What an amazing angle. You have such a good eye for a great shot!! I think I've been inside the ESB, but I can't remember ever going to the top. This is an amazing photo!!!
so now are you going to go sice you have never been? I have never been to the big museum here in town even though I am a member.
First, that's an amazing photograph. Secondly, it seems that many of us don't visit what is iconic in our city. When I lived in London I never visited royal palaces, saw the Queen, whatever. Somehow it was always there so I didn't both.
But Ming, you must visit the Empire State Building. It's mind blowing up top there.
As to what is surprising about me. Well unless I was wearing the clothes, I don't think people would guess I love Diesel clothes! So imaginative and different.
I meant to write 'didn't bother.' Should read things thru.
Ming - Get up to the top of the ESB without delay! Its fantastic up there. When I visited NYC I went up twice in 4 days. Once in the day and once at night. At night it is magical.
Great shot, brings back nice memories for me.
I'm Swiss and have never seen the Matterhorn (other than on pictures). And I don't like milk. I was in NY for one month and never visited the ESB. Walked right by countless times. There, I said it.
This is a wonderful photo of the building at night. I guess it's time you paid a visit, huh? ;-)
Paz
Yeah, you should go up. It's fun!!
trust me, you're not missing a thing. it's dumb up there.
No need to guess, visit Facebook profiles of your friends, and you will be amazed! LOL..
Love this photo! Great shot!
I've never been either. The day I do, I hope Cary Grant is still waiting for me up there.
a black frame for this arrow of light
Great night shot!
I have been on the top looking for Deborah Kerr but she wasn't there...
