Some unfinished business--great gift shoppe, library cards--took us back to the New York Public Library, and afterwards we had a look at several more architectural wonders in the neighborhood: Grand Central Station, the Chrysler building, the French building, and Rockefeller Center.

 |
Goal for the day: the Chrysler building, my favorite
art deco, at least in the large format category |
 |
| But first, a pass through Grand Central Station |
 |
Now in the lobby of the Chrysler building, much art deco,
much beauty... |
 |
Not much interpretive information, no gift shoppe...but plenty of
guards to keep you inside the lines, not bothering the tenants... |
 |
| Still my favorite in that category |
 |
| Moving right along, another tall skinny going up |
Headed for Rockefeller Center, we noticed the French building
 |
| Impressive beauty |
 |
| Carrying on to the Rock; as the fella' says |
 |
| Birthplace of television broadcasting; FWIW |
 |
We grew up in the television age...much of it NBC, but by this time
we were thinking more of CBS, and the Late Show, as a later post
will show... |
 |
Nonetheless, there was much of aesthetic and architectural
interest at Rockefeller Center |
