ESB visit during Thanksgiving day
 
Hi,
would you advise to go to the ESB on Thanksgiving evening especially on a timing that most people are feasting ? :P

Am I the only one who doesn't know what is ESB?

Empire State Building

I'm guessing OP means Empire State Building.

If so, the ESB will be open from 8AM to 2AM (last elevator is at 1:15AM). It's a popular attraction, even on Thanksgiving when "most people are feasting" - tourists and locals alike will go either before or after they eat so there will be people there all day long.

Of course, the number of people who visit on Thanksgiving will be somewhat dependent upon weather conditions - if it's a clear day it will be more crowded than if visibility is hampered by clouds, fog, haze or rain.

It can still be mobbed - I would not go with advance tickets to avoid at least the first of 3 long lines.

Go to the Top of the Rock. Buy a timed ticket. See beautiful views, including Central Park and the ESB.
