\"EmpireNew York in Song
\n\u201cAngels Sing In New York City\u201d
\nThe Empire State Building<\/p>\n

See all the stars \u2013 so fine tonight\u2026
\nThe angels sing in New York City<\/em><\/p>\n

These are lines from the song \u201cAngels Sing In New York City\u201d by the German band Modern Talking.<\/p>\n

If the angels really do sing in New York City<\/a>, chances are they are perched atop the Empire State Building<\/strong>. Located between Chelsea<\/a>, Midtown West<\/a> and Midtown East<\/a> and stretching more than a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere, this manmade miracle can\u2019t be far from heaven itself.\u00a0 To see for yourself, visit the famed Observatory<\/strong>.\u00a0 From the 102nd floor, you will have the most breathtaking view of the entire City.\u00a0 Particularly at night, when the city lights are sparkling, it is truly a thing of beauty and an experience to remember.<\/p>\n

And speaking of lights, one of the City\u2019s biggest mysteries is the ever-changing colors at the top of the building.\u00a0 Far from a random rotation, each color is chosen for a special significance.\u00a0 There are those you would expect \u2013 red & green during the December holidays; and red, white & blue for patriotic U.S. Holidays such as Independence Day (not to be mistaken for blue, white, and red which is used to honor French Bastille Day!).\u00a0 Then there are other color patterns carefully selected to honor special causes and events; such as pink and white for breast cancer awareness and purple & white for Alzheimer\u2019s disease awareness.\u00a0 Perhaps the color light that can have the most different meanings is red.\u00a0 When the Empire State is dipped in red it can be honoring the Red Cross, representing The American Heart Association, highlighting Multiple Sclerosis awareness, or just celebrating Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

And while February is still a while off, a Valentine\u2019s Day deadline is fast approaching.\u00a0 Each year a select number of couples are chosen to get married on the 80th floor of the Empire State Building.\u00a0 Couples are chosen on the basis of essays that must be submitted to the building\u2019s public relations staff by no later than November 30, 2006.\u00a0 So start writing, and check out http:\/\/www.esbnyc.com\/<\/a> for details on how to apply, as well as much more info about the building\u2019s lights and history.<\/p>\n

Just think \u2013 you can have your wedding at an international landmark and then celebrate your honeymoon in one of New York Habitat\u2019s fabulous vacation rentals!\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re getting married or just visiting, we have great apartments and bed & breakfasts for your stay<\/strong>.\u00a0 Book a New York vacation rental<\/a> today! To stay close to the New York Wonder, check out Chelsea accommodations<\/a>, Midtown East apartments<\/a> or Midtown West vacation rentals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With all the tourism attractions the City has to offer, it\u2019s impossible to see everything.\u00a0 But you don\u2019t want to miss the grandeur of The Empire State Building for your own special New York memory.\u00a0 From the stunning Observation Deck high up in the clouds, the Big Apple has never looked so big \u2013 or so small.\u00a0 And who knows, when you\u2019re that high up \u2013 and if you\u2019re very quiet \u2013 you just might hear an angel sing in New York City after all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now we will learn about Chelsea Morning being an important part of the\u00a0\u00a0New York in Song <\/a><\/p>\n
