Our guide to Empire State Building Sunrise Experience
For fifty mornings each year, the Empire State Building opens up early for 100 people to witness one of Earth's finest sunrises and a city awakening.
Be transported while immersed in the rich history as you journey through this Art Deco masterpiece including the landmarked Fifth Avenue lobby and murals.
Then ascend to the 86th Floor with your guide and stay as long as your schedule allows you. Stay all day if you wish and enjoy one or more of the eight in-building dining options including the contemporary cuisine of STATE Grill and Bar and Tacombi, an authentic taqueria.
Located at the centre of it all, the Empire State Building is an easy walk from Times Square and just steps to Macy’s, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station
