In the center is the Chrysler Building. When it was built in 1930, it was the world's tallest building and the first one taller than the Eiffel Tower. Built: 1930. Height: 77 stories, 1046 feet.
The ugly black block to the right of it is the Trump World Tower. It's the world's tallest residential building. Built: 2001. Height: 72 stories, 881 feet.
Between the two of them and just above is LaGuardia (LGA) Airport.
Between the two and below, the black pointed structure is the 100 UN Plaza Apts building. Built: 1988. Height: 51 stories.
The bridge across the East River is the Queensboro (52nd Street) Bridge. Built: 1909. It goes from Manhattan to Queens. |
