No tourist comes to New York City for its history. And most New Yorkers certainly don’t have the leisure to glance up from their palm-held hyperconnectivity, to appreciate the Big Apple’s rich architectural jewels, which happen to surround them.
One a recent blustery evening, as M and I walked down from Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street, the magnificent façade of the Grand Central Terminal, accosted us. We stopped in our tracks, and I whipped out my camera.
The grand ornate clock, instinctively reminded me of the pair of gargoyles that stare down at Paris, from their high perch atop the Norte Dame. A work of Gilded Age New York, it has, according to Wikipedia, the largest collection of Tiffany glass.
