500 5th Avenue, 54th Floor

From left to right: Bank of America Tower, 1515 Broadway, 1540 Broadway (aka the Bertlesmann building) and 1177 6th Ave.

Left to right: my tie and the statue of Liberty.

810 7th Avenue, 26th Floor

Northwest

Southwest

South to Times Square

The fishbowl.

Southeastish

1515 Broadway, 43rd Floor

And then there were two: Bank of America Tower (under construction) and Conde Nast.


Westin Hotel and NYT Building.

The glass cube on the left with the circular floors inside is the top of the Marriott Marquis.

Me, looking anonymous.

Jersey.

Cool window washing rig.

1 [?] Penn Plaza.

1 Wall Street, 49th Floor

I had to stop myself from uploading more photos; there are more. This is the Bank of New York Mellon building. It's kind of unbelievable that they started building this at the beginning of the depression in '29, to me.

Towards Jersey.

M'kay.

That's 49 stories down.

Quite erotic, if you ask me, and a fine coat rack indeed.

This is the private bank on the first floor. Private meaning you can't enter unless you have a radio flyer full of cash. The red tile walls are pretty nuts. "The artist Hildreth Meière coordinated the installation of the mosaics, which were made by Ravenna Mosaics in Berlin and Long Island City."

The ceilings in this room are about 30' high and are clad, I shit you not, in Indonesian sea shells. This is the seven diamond hooker of board rooms.

Oragami?

I think these could possibly be the original furnishings from '31, less the exit signs. That green marble mantle-thing is more green in person.

Looking less like a hole and I wish I had zoomed in on the Deutsche Bank Tower's roof; looked interesting.

The habah.

1515 Broadway, 43rd floor

It seems like every time I'm in this building at 8am, it' rainy.

1350 6th?

I honestly don't remember, but if it's 1350, this is the 35th floor.

500 5th Avenue, 54th Floor

Crosstown.

Mmmm.

599 Broadway, 12th Floor

1221 6th Avenue, Plaza

Karate-chop.

425 Park Avenue, from the fire tower.

Fireworks

Oooh.

Nice.

No way.

Blame it on the rain!

1166 6th Avenue, 35th Floor

That's the Bank of America with the orange safety netting, Bryant park the greenery.

230 Park is the domey thing with the cupola up top.

Ah, the corner office.

415 East 59th Street, 1st Mezz

This is a pretty nice Food Emporium. Pretty, pretty nice.

787 7th, 33rd[?] floor

Just can't remember what floor.

825 8th Avenue, 48th Floor

I have nothing to add to these photos. They have a shoe polishing machine in the men's room on this floor and that's pretty, pretty cool.

Crosstown


1515 hiding the ESB on the left there.

RED!

Tee it up.

Oooooh.

Interesting.

Out of control!

1285 6th, 29th floor.

I'm pretty sure that's where this is. That's definitely Black Rock and 31 West 52nd in the background. Looking southeast towards 30 Rock and I guess the other is looking up 6th.

1515 Broadway, 43rd floor

This building warms the cockles of my heart; it's a fine, fine building. This is probably 8am on a rainy morning looking southeastish. ESB has his head buried in the clouds back there.
