The Empire State Building's first ever LED light show





I love that beacon atop the spire.

Good old Top of The Rock. I was sitting on the leather couch infront of that window for sometime and admired the view of the city. It was a magical moment, that was topped, by the same view at night. What struck me is, that the ESB looks sort of "small" when seen from the TotR.

That is really cool. The ESB should do that every single night, and add some laser lights to the mix, that would make be great.

I think it should be reserved for special occasions. It would get old otherwise, and I still like the simple 3 color scheme. Mixing it up with a light show every now and then would make them a lot more special.

The light show is amazing, but I agree. I don't want that to be something permanent. The lighting scheme ESB already has is simple yet more than enough and I like it that way.
