Take a peek at the world-class Art Deco architecture in Midtown Manhattan

Kya deLongchamps looks at world-class Art Deco architecture in Midtown Manhattan.

Stumping the streets of New York, the fulcrum for branded bags of shopped quarry, it’s impossible to miss the flared, ornate batters of its soaring period architecture. Cloudy-breathed and stung by a waitress’ edgy politeness, you remind yourself with an acquired urbane attitude — this is not the only city with a skyscraper horizon.

Still, the pinched, non-boulevard width of many of NY’s streets added to the drop-the-bass feeling igniting the heart as you skim towards the city from JFK, sets the razor shadow and ornate detail of her canyons into vivid relief — and don’t just crane the odd glance up to jagged bites out of the steely city skies — throw the bags in the hotel and get walking.
