Opposite the Bank of America Tower is the most perfect of perfect parks, NYC's Bryant Park.
Bryant Park has a bit of a Parisian feel and is flanked on one end by the New York Public Library's Central Building.

Further north in Chelsea we come to the Maritime Hotel.
The hotel is supposed to resemble a white cruise ship with portholes overlooking Ninth Avenue.
Purely by chance we found Frank Gehry's new IAC headquarters.
The recently completed IAC headqaurters is home to Barry Diller’s media and internet business and marks Frank Gehry's first completed NYC building.
Surface parking is rare in Manhattan, but where it is found, it's usually accompanied by these elevator devices.
And that's a wrap! Hope you enjoyed!
