New York City 2025 - Part 8

Empire State Building
 
Friday - May 9th 2025
 
Our last full day in New York City started with breakfast at Cafe Aroma. Then we ordered an Uber, since it was raining heavily. For today we planned to see the Empire State Building although we didn't expect to see a lot from the observation deck. When we arrived they asked us several times, if we really wanted to visit due to the bad weather, but exploring the museum was so much more pleasant with no other visitors. Claudia and I had already been to the Empire State Building in 2008 and back then there was no museum, or maybe we just skipped it and headed straight to the observation deck. This time we spent quite some time in the very interesting and entertaining museum, where we learnt a lot about the history of the building. Unfortunately the view from the top was indeed bad, but we knew it beforehand. We still had a great time exploring New York City's most iconic landmark.

Since it was already noon and everybody getting hungry, we decided to get something for lunch. Claudia wanted to try Plnt Burger and luckily the restaurant was not that far from the Empire State Building. Plnt Burger was a plant based burger restaurant and offered not only burgers but also hot dogs and milk shakes. We all ordered burgers and all of them were delicious. Afterwards we took the subway to Central Park and just strolled towards Columbus Circle. Unfortunately it strated to rain again and so we took the inlaws back to the hotel, where they relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Claudia and I headed out again and checked out some shops and got some beers at the District Tap House again. For dinner we stopped at 2 Bros Pizza again before getting drinks at the hotel bar.
