Empire State Extra


The needle-like Empire State Building still marks the landscape.  It will be a major crime if the proposed 1,216 foot 15 Penn Plaza plastic mirror is built a few blocks away.

Above, from the Pulaski Bridge in Greenpoint, the Empire State pierces clouds.  Just below l-r: (1) from Greenpoint again, beneath an approaching plane, (2) from the West Side Highway & Gansevoort St., (3) from 1st Ave. & 18th St.



Just above l-r (1) from 6th Ave. & 30th St., (2) from Union Square, (3 & 4) from an east side avenue.


Above l-r: (1) you can just see its needle from 39th Pl. in Sunnyside, Queens, (2) looming above Lexington Ave., (3) in the middle of construction, from the Brooklyn end of the Williamsburg Bridge.  Below left, from the bridge again, in between Domino Sugar buildings.  Below right, sticking up in the middle of a Greenpoint biofuels plant.
