Cool spot

To quote a Beach boys song:
"Wouldn't it be nice" to spend a Friday evening
enjoying the sun And the view on that terrace !!!
The two Avenues crossing at the foot of the Flat Iron Building are Broadway and 5th.

And as a Bonus for the ones who have never made it to the top
the view looking North of Midtown Manhattan
with The Chrysler Building on the right and Central Park on the top left.


Comme le chantaient les Beach Boys:
"Qu'il doit etre doux "...de regarder le soleil se coucher,
un vendredi soir sur cette terrasse en hauteur!!
Les 2 avenues se croisant au pied du Flat Iron Building
(immeuble en forme de fer a repasser) sont Broadway et la 5eme Avenue

Et en petit cadeau pour ceux qui n'ont jamais eu la vue de "La-haut"..
Manhattan en regardant vers le nord,
Le Chrysler Building a droite et Central Park au fond a gauche.

I wish you a good Week end.

Definitely worth the $20 to ride the elevator up to the top!

Beautiful scenics. If I had a view like that I would probably take a few hundred pictures.

Simply amazing. I'm afraid of heights so these pics are a perfect alternative for the real thing.

My next trip, I'll be seeing this sight. It's so iconic. Thanks, M-N. You have a good weekend as well.

Quelle belle terrasse en effet mais il en reste beaucoup autour qui pourraient être aménagées!
Bises.

que c'est beau...quand on voit NY d'en haut on se dit qu'il n'y a rien de plus beau...avec l'accent de L. Mariano.

Le terrasse donne vraiment envie de rendre une petite visite!

Marie June 7, 2009 at 5:00 PM  

Wow, moi ça me rend nostalgique. C'est magnifique.

Magnificent!

une belle série sur l'ESB (meme si maintenant je préfère le Top Of The Rock). La vue est magnifique, on a envie de s'envoler par dessus ces immeubles (bientôt, bientôt). Sinon tu as bien raison, par exemple je suis jamais monté à la tour eiffel)

27 ans déjà que j'ai pu admirer cette vue de là haut, il fait que j'y revienne.

Si je prenais le fer à repasser de la photo, je me demande si mon tas de linge diminuerait plus vite!

Pat June 8, 2009 at 3:40 AM  

I agree with Chuck. Maybe I'll just go up this summer; haven't been since I was a kid.

Twenty bucks for an elevator ride. Now I know why so many people live in a city of millions of people.

Bing-it

Isn't it sooooo great! Isn't it fun to see those tourist sights? so awsome & amazing (sorry, this is my vocabulary when I'm excited)
