Downtown Manhattan has its classic canyons, with the large, glass boxes
thrown in. Midtown has its share of classic canyons as well. But in Midtown,

closeness of Downtown, or at least comes close. Here's a small
sampling, the area north of Grand Central.

Because there's never enough in the canyons, the city always seems to be adding more. Below are some photos I posted in the BofA construction thread...a sample from the 6th Ave canyon...

Great thread! I've been looking at your posts in this section and it's really making me want to go to New York again (I was there in January).
Well come on back, its open year 'round...
This time there'll be an extra spire or two to look at.
