This is my favorite building in New York. Yes, I know how awesome the Chrysler Building is, and so many other iconic, interesting or beautiful buildings, but this one just... dominates. It's so massive - it's not just tall, it's big. And it's legendary! It was the tallest building in the world, for so many decades, so it's embedded in our awareness. Even though the World Trade Center towers were bigger and taller since I was a kid, I grew up with its impact on popular culture.

I was pleased to find that I could see it from my hotel room. And yes, I took many photos of it!

This was the view from my room, and you can see reflections in the window.
