About This Tour
Manhattan's 42nd Street is home to some of the most acclaimed architecture from some of this country's greatest architects and designers. However, New York is not just a collection of tall buildings; it is a collection of neighborhoods that changed with a growing city. You will see how these changes will effect what would happen on its avenues over time. The mysteries of how and why a neighborhood will transform, how what once was and what would be will influence architects and their design choices, will be revealed and explained.
Photo Gallery
The ceiling at Grand Central Terminal.
Not just a New York City icon, a style icon.
We DO NOT go here, you will see it from the ground. Will Smith in Men in Black 3 does jump off of this to go back in time.
Not the home of Faith Hill & Tim McGraw
Such a beautiful building almost swallowed up by it's neighbors.
