Touring NYC: The Daily News Building

The Daily News Building is the former home of the New York Daily News and the home of the fictional Daily Planet newspaper from the Superman films.

Completed in 1930, the building is known for its Art Deco style and is now a New York City Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.  
The 36-story Daily News Building, 220 East 42nd Street, NYC
We recently visited the lobby of the building.  Entering the lobby was like stepping back in time to the 1930's.  Here are some photos to show what we mean.  Enjoy.
