Only in New York City (The Chrysler Building)

The other day, we were out for a walk on the East Side.  We walked through Sutton Place and then Turtle Bay where the United Nations is located.  Because the UN General Assembly is in session, there is a large zone of many blocks where vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed.  So, we steered clear of the red zone and walked to the center of the city.

Turning a corner, we spotted our favorite building in New York, the Chrysler Building.  Some photos below help explain why. While we appreciate other landmarks of the NYC skyline, we especially like the architectural beauty of the Chrysler Building.

The Chrysler Building, an Art Deco Masterpiece

Even more spectacular as night falls

As we stood with heads tilted toward skyward, we admired the crown and the aluminum creatures guarding the building.  Just then, a passerby stopped and asked if we were watching someone about to jump off the building.  We think he was joking. 

Only in NYC.
