New York
Extract
'You head for the observation deck on the 86th floor. You can choose to use one of the lifts, which travel up to 360 metres (1200 feet) a minute. Alternatively, you can climb the 1575 stairs. If you think that's a lot every February there is an annual Empire State Run-up, when people run from the lobby up to the 86th floor. It can be done in 10 minutes!
When you reach the observatory you push through the glass doors and step out onto the deck. Look around you to take in the stunning views of New York. On a clear day you can see up to 80 miles but generally it's between 10 and 20. Walk around the deck taking in New York from every angle. Spotting one of the binoculars you decide to use it to see further. You lean down and press your eyes against the holes and look out. The distance suddenly comes into sharp focus and you can see for miles.'
