Madison Square Park
March 13, 2020
For a number of reasons, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in New York over the past few years. I love this city and I’m grateful for every moment within it. Travel is going to be a bit light for a while, so I’m remembering my wanderings around town from afar for now.
A few months ago walking between meetings I stopped for a bit in Madison Square Park. The views and architecture on this one corner are wonderful: the Empire State Building to the north, Flatiron Building directly behind, and the Met Life Tower buildings on the park’s eastern border.
The building next to this tower, the Metropolitan Life North building, was originally supposed to be 100 stories tall and the tallest building in the world at that time. However, construction stopped in the Great Depression at just 30 stories.
I love the way the buildings appear through the trees in the winter.
