It's not so great inside. A lot of stairs and some windows at the top. There are better ways to spend your day in the NYC.

I've heard stories from people who've been all up inside that. Heard it's pretty fucking scary.

I've been to Liberty Island back in 2003 on a class trip (I remember the boat was rocking like fuck, and not in a good way) but that's it.

City n00bs. Just

Nah, srsly one of the shittier nights I've had in my life was spent on a boat. While we were making our way south to the fishing grounds we were bouncing around a lot. Not fun to sleep in when you hear the bulkhead around you smashing into the water.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I remember going to the top of the WTC... scary but awesome.

The Washington Monument also isn't that great to go up.

Been to the crown in 99. Rather disappointing view - she looks straight out to sea - and the queue took about 3 hours. Unique view of her stone tablet and her insides is cool though.

Especially when covered in scaffolding (99).

One place that was well worth the colossal queue however is the White House. Really interesting and awe inspiring.
