Went to the city today to see an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. More on that later. When I emerged from the subway at 59th Street and 5th Avenue, this is what I saw! I know that these all glass walled exterior buildings have been appearing one by one, but this is the first time I have seen them all in a row, and the lighting makes them more obvious. The shortest structure, in the lower right corner is the Essex House and that has been there for ever. Such a dramatic change seeing these new buildings, which have been called "Pencil Towers," appear above all the older buildings, most of which are made of brick.

“Pencil” buildings are not that appealing to me although some of them have incredible designs. Betsey
