Here are a few shots of the Flatiron building which, alongside the Chrysler building, is one of my two favourite buildings In New York city.  Built in 1902 and 22 storeys high, the Flatiron was once the tallest skyscraper in New York.  Although dwarfed by modern skyscrapers, the Flatiron is architecturally stunning.

Here are a few shots of 230 Fifth which is New York’s largest outdoor rooftop garden and fully enclosed penthouse lounge.  As you can see the views are simply spectacular particularly of the Empire State building.  The evening that we visited was by far the coldest however, even though it was catered for with numerous heaters and red towelling robes which helped to keep the heat in.   Big thanks to Loz and Hannah for the suggesting to meet up at such a fantastic location.  See more at: http://www.230-fifth.com/
