Well, there's the story about how King Kong climbed up the side of the building as he rescued his damsel in distress and fought off the evil bad guys.
Then there's the story about how the needle at the top of the building was originally built to tie a deringer to it.
There's the story about how you can supposedly drop a penny from the top of the building and it will create a crater 3 feet deep when it hits the ground.
Other than these three stories I believe there are about 99 more.

102 stories
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until the construction of the World Trade Center North Tower in 1972.
The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its street floor interior are designated landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and confirmed by the New York City Board of Estimate.[3] In 2007 it was reported by NewsMax.com that the Empire State Building is America's favorite work of architecture. [4] With the World Trade Center destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks, it is currently the tallest building in New York City and the second-tallest building in the United States, after the Sears Tower in Chicago.
