Seen from the bar at the Hilton, on 42nd Street, in the first picture below. The Hilton bar is a couple stories up. Normally, my view of this spectacular roof is ground-level, peering up at it from 8th avenue – which is beautiful in its own way (the second picture below) – but to see it head-on really gives an idea of the scope of the thing.
I “visit” this roof as often as I can. It obsesses me.
thank goodness ben introduced me to that place! such a great find.
Siobhan – it is such a great find – you’d never know you were in the middle of Times Square! So fun when you met me and Alex there on that insane day!
I Google Maped it thinking, incorrectly, it would look as majestic from above. Nothing like these shots.
