New York, a city of dreams and great people, a place that offers a myriad of adventures and can make all your dreams come true. It is a common knowledge, that the Eiffel Tower is a symbol of Paris and the Empire State Building together with the Rockefeller centre are situated in New York. That’s why Rick Bell, the head of the Center for Architecture, decided to widen our horizons and tell us more about the other prominent “must-visit” places in New York. So, forget about finding these two buildings in it.

But, please, don’t think of this list as something very changeable and very difficult to understand, because it does include the Conde Nast Building in Times Square (actually, it is a skyscraper, but a green one) and the Apple store in Soho, (because of it incredible glass bridge and staircase).

Conde Nast building: It is a great 264-meters tall skyscraper, located right in the middle of Times Square. The building consists of 48 storeys of offices. It was called “environmentally correct”, ‘cause it meets all the requirements of both state and world, thus, providing people working in it with the exceptionally clean, fresh and useful working conditions.

The Brooklyn Museum of Art:  The glass and steel structure makes it so insanely addictive both to visit and view that you simply can’t leave it unnoticed. The Brooklyn Museum presents one of the best collections of Egyptian Art in the world. There are 28 period rooms and a great selection of American Paintings.

Prada store New York: It is the centerpiece of Prada’s flagship store, and it is located in Soho. Most people come to one conclusion, this shop makes them buy things and creates really nice and comfortable atmosphere and the range of goods is impressive.

Rose Center for Earth and Space: This futuristic and illuminated 87-foot diameter sphere, seems to float in the space, it attracts many people and shocks them before they find out that it is the redesign and reconstruction of the Hayden Planetarium.

Apple store Soho: It is not a store, it is an Apple world. The store was opened in the summer of 2002 in and it was converted from a Soho post office. the exterior of the store reminded the same as it was in 1920s – stone and brick post office. The interior looks a bit cooler, white, clean inside and with a glass staircase and a glass bridge upstairs.

Grand central terminal: It was initially built in 1903-1913, and afterwards restored by Beyer, Blinder & Belle in 1998. Till the present moment most people call this Beaux-Arts beauty as Grand Central Station, but, actually, it is a terminal. Once coming in it, you will get into another world and another time. It is a great and very popular train station (Pennsylvania Station is highly impressive as well). What is more, the main meeting point there is brass clock atop the Information Booth.

Morgan Library expansion: What is noticeable about this Morgan Library, is that is considered to be a real masterpiece, thus uniting three existing buildings with a skylit atrium space. What is more, it possesses a huge underground area in order to store various collections of manuscripts and other artifacts.

Chrysler building: This building doesn’t have a public observation deck and it is not so famous as the State Empire building, but Bell decide to repair an omission. This building was the tallest one in New York till 1974 and later it was surpassed by the Sears Tower. It is a perfect reflection of the Art Deco style, uniting both elegance and fun.

Hearst tower: This 42-story tower was officially opened in 2002 and possesses great architectural ensembles. It is extremely exciting, but it doesn’t have the 13th floor, thus, nobody will have no fear. 

Seagram building: It is and elegant glass building made with aesthetic touch, it is elegant and meets all the European standards. It was the first to get large floor-to-ceiling windows. It is a kind of a skyscraper but in international style.
