A lot of people enjoy top views of the city but at the same time not everyone can handle some serious height. So if you are someone who is scared of heights and wants to overcome it then a perfect place for you to begin is the Empire State Building. Go a step above the general viewing height and take up the elevator another 16 floors to not only enjoy the breathtaking view of entire New York from Empire State Building but also face your fear of heights.
The real adventure is in overcoming major obstacles and higher the obstacles, bigger the satisfaction of pushing yourself an extra mile, it doesn’t matter whether you finish the track successfully or not what matters is the spirit and the effort that you put in. Experience mountain biking in Highbridge Park which is super fun if you don’t mind the crazy blocks and hurdles that challenge you at every step.
