- Details at 620 Avenue of the Americas Siegel-Cooper’s "Big Store" — 616-632 (block): Was Siegel-Cooper, "The Big Store–a City in Itself" (1896-1914). In its day, this glorious retail temple was the center of NYC shopping; "meet me at the fountain" was a catch phrase, referring to the store’s centerpiece, which featured Daniel Chester French’s statue of The Republic (today in California’s Forest Lawn Cemetery). Henry Siegal is credited with introducing the free sample. In the 1980s, a youth center called The Door was based here. Now Bed Bath & Beyond, a superstore featured on Sex and the City, as well as Filene’s Basement and TJ Max. [SOURCE]

- Flatiron Building Built in 1903 as the Fuller Building, its unusual and striking shape (designed by Daniel Burhnam to match its triangular lot) quickly earned it its lasting nickname. It is not true that is New York’s first skyscraper– just one of its most memorable. A traditional publishing center, it’s still home to St Martin’s Press. In 1910s, it housed the offices of the Socialist Labor Party, ancestor of most U.S. left parties. It features in the movie Spider- Man as the Daily Bugle building, and Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak are teleported here in Bell, Book and Candle. The phrase "23 Skidoo" supposedly originated with a police officer chasing off loiterers at the 23rd Street corner hoping to catch a glimpse of stocking under a skirt blown up by the freakish Flatiron winds.

- The Cloisters The Cloisters house the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection of art and architecture from medieval Europe. "Located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in northern Manhattan’s Fort Tryon Park, the building incorporates elements from five medieval French cloisters–quadrangles enclosed by a roofed or vaulted passageway, or arcade–and from other monastic sites in southern France. Three of the cloisters reconstructed at the branch museum feature gardens planted according to horticultural information found in medieval treatises and poetry, garden documents and herbals, and medieval works of art, such as tapestries, stained-glass windows, and column capitals. Approximately five thousand works of art from medieval Europe, dating from about A.D. 800 with particular emphasis on the twelfth through fifteenth century, are exhibited in this unique and sympathetic context."
