I still have the Manhattan of the 1990s with a good mix of art deco spires, glass cereal boxes and a handful of PoMos in my head. The most recent wave of towers like Hudson Yard's London-esque mass and wacky shapes, along with Billionaire's row, is kind of ruining it for me. |
Lower Manhattan of 1929-1958 was the greatest of all skylines. It will never be beaten.
