After Midnight

This year the arrival of summer and warmer nights coincides with the pushing back of the observation deck’s closing, to 2 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 9. The views at night are both spectacular and breathtaking!

At that late hour in the summer, the platform becomes a lovers’ lane for couples in search of a romantic late-night view. Their idea, of course, is inspired by movies like “An Affair to Remember’’ or “Sleepless in Seattle.’’

And so I wonder, how many proposals has the observation deck been witness to in its 75 years?
