1350 6th Avenue, 35th Floor (a couple from the 25th)

I really like the Moma sculpture garden (top right of the frame) from this angle. It really looks as if it were carved out of the city grid.






I appreciate the patterns on the Moma's roof also. That's literally above and beyond.

1515 Broadway, 43rd Floor

Sorry for posting so many from this floor. I have a weekly meeting here but still don't tire of the view.

Below is a poor attempt at stitching a photo together.

Fireworks with Happy Faces

It's been too long since we got some fireworks up in here.

I'm going to start this with the end. It's always neat after the throngs of people around the entire city stop screaming in delight and the boats and yachts stop blowing their horns; there's just that cloud of smoke lingering over the thirties.






HAPPY FACES.

153 East 53rd Street, 31st Floor (The Citicorp Building)

Call it what you will, Wikipedia, I call it the Citicorp building. That there in the foreground is the Lipstick building.

I'm not sure what building on third ave, below, that is with that strange pattern on the first setback. Looks Lever-Housey.

I apologize for the delay for a new post. It won't happen again.

30 Rockefeller Plaza, 65th Floor (The Rainbow Room)


I think if you look hard, you can see Albany. Unfortunately I had to leave before sunset.


Towards the Hudson.


OK, now this is the bathroom. It's actually on the 66th floor. You walk up a small (32"?) stair to get to it. The view from the sink is below. Nice pisser, eh?


Sorry for the interior shots, but this is the main ballroom.



Spires left to right: Empire State, Bank of America, 4 Times Square (Conde Nast)


The Williamsburg Bridge is way off in the distance.


LIC represent.
