RCA/General Electric Building	570 Lexington Avenue New York NY	Not to be confused with the GE Building in Rockefeller Center, this is a stunning Art Deco Tower. The terra cotta reliefs represent radio waves. The roof is a real treat! Rockefeller Center Web Site http://www.skyscrapers.com/building/100003.cfm

Bloomingdales	740 Lexington Avenue New York NY	Interesting architectural details. The shopping is supposed to be pretty good.

Waldorf-Astoria Hotel	301 Park Avenue New York NY	Twin peaked towers - a hotel and residential complex.

General Douglas MacArthur lived in the towers after he retired from the army.

111 John Street	111 John Street New York NY

Rockefeller Center	30 Rockefeller Plaza New York NY	This is a wonderful complex, with amazing art inside and outside the lobbies. One of the more interesting stories is that Diego Rivera painted a mural in the main lobby... and had put in the head of Lenin. Not a good thing to have in a complex named after Rockefeller. Diego Rivera refused to remove the picture. He was paid in full, the mural was destroyed, and replaced with a mediocre one. Good news though - Rivera repainted the mural at Bellas Artes in Mexico City. When you're in Mexico City, be sure to visit it. It's a huge mural, and a real treat to see.

Empire State Building	350 Fifth Avenue New York NY	Most people go to the observatory, but I think the best part of the Empire State Building is the stunning mural in the lobby! Be sure to view the different medallions representing the crafts - elevators, masonry, electrical, etc. Official Web Site http://www.esbnyc.com/

Chanin Building	122 East 42nd Street New York NY	Irwin Chanin was a Cooper Union graduate!

Graybar Building	420 Lexington Avenue New York NY	http://www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/bestiary/bestiary.html

Chrysler Building	405 Lexington Avenue New York NY	My favorite New York Landmark - it's simply magnificent. Be sure to go into the lobby - the elevator doors are made with beautiful hardwood inlay... and the ceiling is a wonderful mural of the building. Walter Chrysler had the spire secretly constructed in the tower, and then raised up. It made it the tallest building in the world until the Empire State Building was finished. http://www.luciddreams.com/chryslerbuilding/

Fred French Building	551 Fifth Avenue New York NY	Delightful murals here.
