Take a moment to enjoy how beautiful the Empire State Building looks this weekend, because it's lit up in rainbow colors for NYC Pride Week! And notice—there's also a sparking halo!
The Empire State Building posted many photographs from last night on its Facebook page (see some of them above) and the lights will be on tonight and tomorrow night. Tonight, there's the Party on the Pier with Cher—who was at Marquee on Thursday night—and Sunday is the big Pride March, which starts at noon at 36th Street and Fifth Avenue and ends at Christopher and Greenwich Streets.
This afternoon, there's the Dyke March at 5 p.m., starting at Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street.
