    Underlying the beautiful modernists setbacks of the 30’s architecture. Not that it’s a marvelous building per se, but it’s iconic of it’s period; cartoons and movies and any futuristic visionary drawings of the time uses such architectural features, but mostly representing an ill-fated inescapable destiny.

    Afternoon light? So the west side of the building it would be.

    The new chillers, ain’t they disrupting!

    Ah, the New Yorker. My parents would take me and my brother there for dinner (if my blotchy memory serves) in the restaurant, which I think was downstairs. Nothing like it in the suburbs of Long Island, where we lived. My dad worked in the garment district nearby. All I remember was the wood paneling. But to my parents, this was the epitome of urban elegance. Oddly, as an adult I must have walked passed it many many times, but never went inside.
    Great photo.

    Gorgeous picture and building!

    I loved all the Art Deco skycrapers you can see in your city. It is walking in New York that I realised that a skycraper can be something else than ugly.
