From the Empire State Building website:

All stairways in the building are fire/emergency stairs and the Fire Dept. of New York City, our insurance carrier and building management policy prohibit the use of the stairs for any other reason except for once each year when we host the Empire State Building Annual Run Up stair climbing competition which is organized by the New York Road Runners Club.

The Road Runner event will occur on Feb 2nd this year, and the application for the Empire State Building Run-Up is CLOSED per the Road Runner club website.
Well, maybe next year for the Empire State Building.
However - the Statue of Liberty Crown is open. I can look into pricing for that. You guys still interested?
Also - I would encourage other Pelicanites outside of the Metro New York area to look into climbing their tallest structures -- the the Space Needle in Seattle, the Sears Tower in Chicago...etc. Maybe we can coordinate our climbs and see how many steps we took towards weight loss! (I know, it's cheesy - but whatever it takes to keep us all motivated...)
-Z-man.
