The NYC Empire State Building is a 103-story building located in NYC, which is short for New York City. It was, for a long time, the tallest building in the world. The address, if that's what you need, is 350 5th Ave, New York, NY 10118, United States of America. The coordinates are 40.748107, -73.985372. The nearest subway station is 34th St & Herald Square, which you can reach via lines B,D,F,M,N,Q, and R, some of which are orange and some yellow, not sure if that makes a difference since I'm not familiar with the NYC subway system, but if you need directions it should help to know that.
The story of the European settlers in the USA (if that's what you mean) mimics the biblical story of the Israelites reaching the promised land in that they both believed that if they just came to this place of "milk and honey" they would be able to flourish, and truly enjoy life. This was true for the most part.
