The ESB's 86th & 102nd floor observatories are at 1,050 feet and 1,250 feet, respectively, while One WTC's observation deck will be an estimated 1,260 feet (with a spire rising some 500 feet above).

I prefer getting high in Brooklyn, anyway. More dramatic visuals and all that.

(and why won't they let me hang out on top of the WTC spire? I have a parachute.)

What do you mean "when?" I'm standing atop Miampolis right now with a huge bullhorn directing my minions far below. And I'm not wearing pants.

So there.

We've got to get Spell back to Miami so his family and friends can take care of him.

I don't wear pants up here, either. It's hopeless.

Observation Deck in Miami

Hi!

I'm going to visit Miami next month so I was wondering what is the tallest observation deck in the city. (I hope there is one )

Take a time machine to 2018 after one bayfront plaza is built and we'll tell you.

Poiman, I would tell you to go to one of the islands east of Miami downtown, such as Watson island. You can great views of downtown Miami and Miami beach from a few points in between. Or the Causeway that goes to Biscayne Key, it has parking and beautiful views on both sides. Don't be deterred.
