The building is designed in the Art Deco style, an architectural form that was quite popular in the 20s and 30s of the last century.\n\n\nEmpire State Building is modeled from the shape of a pencil, has a fairly modern style, 381 m high with 102 floors, built in a record short time, only 16 months. The name of the tower is named after the nickname (nickname) of New York City (Empire State). It was considered the tallest tower in the world for 40 years, since its completion in 1931, surpassing the record set by the Chrysler Building. Only when the World Trade Center (WTC) was completed in 1972 did the Empire State Building take second place. However, after the WTC was demolished in 2001, it remained number one in New York and second in the US, behind Sears Tower in Chicago.\n\nEmpire State Building owns one of the most ideal outdoor observatories in the world, attracting more than 110 million people per year located on the 86th floor. From here, you can look over New York. In fact, the building has one more observatory on the 102nd floor that is open to the public. But it had to close in 1999 and then reopen in November 2005. However, this place is not as attractive as the area on the 86th floor."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJtWdojvuJlB0ZnbMuhw4%2FSnaptik_7034115250802740485_oce-in-nyc.mp4?alt=media&token=17c1e5e3-92e5-4f3a-9f04-a126dcaaf166"}]},{"address":"Macy's","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":40.7507377136837,"longitude":-73.98915545},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Macy's"},{"metadata":{"width":563,"height":425},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJtWdojvuJlB0ZnbMuhw4%2F24dfd0ced8a9b93c38f651ced1afd438.jpg?alt=media&token=c69fea43-9a67-4d6a-948f-411de2e20cc9"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.macys.com/"},{"type":"text","content":"Macy’s, established in 1858, is the Great American Department Store—an iconic retailing brand over 740 stores operating coast-to-coast and online.
