NEW YORK — There’s something about an observatory.
Sure, they’re half a tourist trap, but there is also something therapeutic about relaxing and enjoying the view.
Worries wash away with each passing floor. The world below looks so small and simple.

So, in honor of getting high, enjoy the view from a recent visit to One World Observatory in New York.
