New York Skyscrapers & Architecture
Staying right in Midtown in Manhattan meant the skyscrapers of New York where on our door step. Its hard to explain the feeling you get as emerge from the subway and gaze up at the towering buildings for the first time. You are surrounded by towering works of art, from the stone art deco to the modern glass.
Probably the most sensible way to see the best of New York’s skyscrapers is to find a walking tour in a guide book, we opted for the less organised wandering around and pointing “look at that one, that looks like a famous one”. Heres some pictures of our favourite New York architecture:
Midtown
American flags on the Waldorf Astoria
Citicorp skyscraper in Midtown
Not sure what the name of these Midtown buildings are but i like them
Financial District

Greenwich Village
Fire escapes in greenwich village
More apartment block fire escapes in Greenwich village
If you want to take the sensible route and go with a walking tour, there seems to be a lot of choices for guided ones, couldn’t find too much for self guided other than this Lower Manhattan Web Walk which looks pretty cool.
I reckon just walk out your hotel or hostel door map in hand and an idea of where yo want to end up and wander over there, you wont fail to see some cracking architecture and mind boggling skyscrapers in New York!

Hello,
Its Great, the newyork is beautiful city and long tail business apartments. Its fine that we can’t see the high of the building by standing in front of and raising the head. So by means of specialty and they provided the highest buildings figures in the Map’s book for the tourists who went for the tour to the see the NewYork. The Map book shows all the guidelines and road maps etc.,
With regards,

New York, New York. I have been there recently and loved every second of it. These photos take me back to the busy streets and vibrant city atmosphere. I too opted for the wander round and point tour and loved it all.
