帝国大厦有102层，著名的观景台位于第86层和第102层。开放式的第86层观景台提供纽约市的360度视野，而封闭的第102层观景台是观景体验中最高的点。

The Empire State Building is a working office building. About 2.8 million square feet is leased to companies like LinkedIn, Shutterstock and JCDecaux, with two observation decks and a museum above those floors and shops and restaurants at street level. The tower also carries an antenna that was enlarged in 1950 so more broadcast stations could use it.

No, nobody lives in the Empire State Building. The floors are leased as offices, with the observation decks and the museum above them and shops and restaurants at street level. It’s one of the largest office buildings in the world, not an apartment building.

帝国大厦的重量约为365,000吨。

其外部包括印第安纳石灰石、花岗岩、砖、铝和不锈钢，都是建筑的一部分，自1931年以来使这座建筑成为纽约市的象征的装饰艺术风格。

The Empire State Building has 6,514 windows. Every one of them was replaced during the energy retrofit that began in 2009, in the biggest window replacement the Landmarks Preservation Commission has ever authorized, with the frames put back in the building’s original red.

The Empire State Building has 73 Otis elevators. They’re the reason almost nobody has to face the 1,860 steps between street level and the 102nd Floor Observation Deck. New ones arrived with the $65 million modernization program that also replaced the building’s 6,514 windows.

Yes, the Empire State Building has its own ZIP code, 10118. A ZIP code normally covers a whole neighborhood rather than one address, so a single building holding one is unusual. The code covers the offices, the shops at street level and the observation decks above them.

The Empire State Building is famous for opening in 1931 as the world’s tallest building and for the Art Deco design that made it New York’s most famous building. Cornell researchers named it the most photographed building in the world in 2011, and more than 2.5 million visitors still come to see it every year.
