The Empire State Building The Empire State Building is the top place to see for first-time visitors to New York City. This tall building was part of a competition between New York City businessmen Walter Chrysler and John Raskob for the title of the world’s tallest building. Engineer William Lamb was paid to produce the plans for the buildings, and John Raskob and Pierre du Pond’s company paid for the Empire State project. The other project in competition for the little, 40 Wall Street, was under construction when work on the Empire State Building began on March 17, 1930. The Empire State project was completed on April 11, 1931, sooner than planned. The building was opened for business by Herbert Hoover on May 1, 1931. However, due to the great economic crisis of that time, lots of the offices in the building were not rented for several years. When visiting the Empire State Building, prepare for long ticket lines on the first floor, especially on weekends. You should wear warm clothes if it’s cold and windy, so check the temperature before you go. Tourists buy one ticket to visit the 86th floor and another one for the 102nd floor, which offers interesting 360-degree views of the city. Book your tickets online to save money. To go up to the higher floor, tickets are only available on the 80th floor, where you can learn about the history of the building. Ejemplo:

Why I quit social media In recent years, there has been plenty of research about social media. Some studies prove it could be mentally unhealthy and suggest taking a break from it. I decided to quit Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and see for myself what benefits it could bring. Now that I no longer have access to those networks, I get more work done and have time to do extra chores like answering more e-mails and talking to people who I can do business with. I might not get as many invitations nowadays, but the ones I get now are completely genuine. So, it’s been positive. As for my “friends”, I have no idea what they all are doing, but those who really care about me are still there. I get involved with them on a real level, face to face.
