My New York City: Buildings

Hello everyone!
So this part of the "My NYC" series is dedicated to the beautiful, unique and absolutely stunning architecture of the city - its buildings.
I don't think there was even one time when I'd go to the city and wouldn't take at least one picture of its buildings - they are all different, every single one is not like the other, steel, glass, everything you can imagine!
So, enjoy! :)
P.S. All pictures belong to me.

The building sits on a triangular island block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak.

The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark skyscraper and American cultural icon in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It has a roof height of 1,250 feet (381 meters), and with its antenna spire included, it stands a total of 1,454 ft (443.2 m) high.[7] Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, the Empire State. It stood as the world's tallest building for 40 years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building reclaimed the position of tallest building in New York (although it was no longer the tallest in the world).
