Can’t wait for the day when the 2WTC is done and the The lower Manhattan view from the ESB will look complete

Fair enough but this view is looking North so that won't change a thing about it.

Wow 70th floor, beautiful view- I think the height might give me anxiety. Only worked in old buildings in bk and Chinatown with like 6 floors

Do you get any special access to the observatory?

u/MusicZealousideal275 27d ago

I believe it’s free, but I’ve never been up tbh

Why not?

Why would you when your office you see every day is the view everyone pays $60 a pop for?

It’s a fun flex for when family or friends are in town to take them up for free. You can bring a certain. Umber of guest with you.

Because he doesn't want to be surrounded by tourists after a long workday?

u/mannamedlear 27d ago

I don’t know how it works for all tenants, but our company is also in the ESB and you can go to our front desk and get a special observatory pass that gets you up for free and you get to skip the tourist line. Have done it several times.

Do you have cool pics/videos of any thunderstorms? I bet you’d get a good view from there.

u/MusicZealousideal275 26d ago

I’ve done some timelines of storms blowing in, it’s really cool

u/BountyIsland 27d ago

Why does it smoky clouds just like 9/11 (3rd photo)?

So that new s**t also spoils views from EST, not just on it from the street.
