Of the top five tallest buildings in new york, the empire state building is by far the oldest. construction began in 1930 and was finished in just a10 days. the building really captured the imagination of hollywood and ended up playing a pretty big part in the movies itself, like in king kong... ..the rom—com sleepless in seattle, and one of my absolute favourites, the musical on the town. even today, it's still one of the most visited attractions in new york city, usually welcoming about 4 million people every year who get to come up here and take in those beautiful views.
