Everywhere I go in the city, I see one particularly tall building from almost every street corner and public park - The Empire State Building. The best view of course is either from an airplane window or from right below it on 5th Avenue and 34th Street, or from nearby in or around
Herald Square. But I love to see it when I'm farther away inside a Chelsea art gallery or maybe out and about in the Flat Iron District or the SoHo area. It's always a wonderful and familiar sight!

I really like this post and have felt the same way about the Empire State since I could see it from my first apartment. I can no longer see it from a window where I live but it still makes me breathless to see it when I'm out and about.
