Westfield World Trade Center (New York) The mall opened on August 16, 2016 as the largest shopping complex in Manhattan, with 125 retail spaces. It replaces the Mall at the World Trade Center, the underground shopping mall under the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001.
Looking down from my hotel room in Midtown Manhattan, I captured this vibrant snapshot of city life in November 2015. Yellow cabs, bustling streets, and iconic New York energy fill the scene, showcasing the organized chaos that makes the city so alive. From this vantage point, it’s easy to appreciate the rhythm and pulse of Manhattan—where every street corner tells a story.

The New York Sun Clock at 280 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
The Sun newspaper officially unveiled the clock on July 12, 1930; this photo is from July 2021.
The building’s history goes back much further: built as New York’s first department store in the 1840s by A.T. Stewart and now a City-owned building containing the headquarters of the NYC Department of Buildings, the Sun Building was occupied by its namesake for the relatively short period of 1919 to 1950.
The clock has survived multiple breakdowns and plans to demolish the building over the years, but it also inspired a campaign to save it starting in the 1960s. Since 1986, it and the building have been protected by New York Designated Landmark status.
Along with the rest of the building facade and its companion, the Sun Thermometer, it was recently restored.

Although 99% of my photos on Flickr show scenes from the past, I'm absolutely fascinated by this concept for the future and its impact on the New York Skyline. Personally, I think this is the coolest structure I've seen since the original Twin Towers were completed in 1973. Please let me know (pro or con) what you would think if the "Big Bend" were to be constructed. Thanks!
One of the documents my dad brought home from work at the Port Authority, it depicts a Jetsons-like “futurama” Battery Park City from the year 2000.
The view looks south from the North Cove down to the Harbor, Staten Island, Jersey City, Statue of Liberty and the Verrazano Bridge.
I really like the heavy emphasis on slanted pre-stressed concrete (quite modern at the time!) and the twin octagonal buildings connected by air-bridges.
Perhaps they were inspired by the twin towers of the World Trade Center going up just across West Street to the left of this view?
Even on the earliest plans I’ve seen for Battery Park City circa 1967, the concept of a North and South Cove were already included.
The people walking around appear to be enjoying their lives of leisure by the Hudson. But of course... in the future, computers will do all the work!

Guggenheim Museum against a white sky, Upper East Side, New York City.
The architecture in this photo is the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and is the top of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Wright was commissioned to design a space for the museum in 1943 and the project took well over a decade to complete. He apparently was disappointed in the choice of New York City as the home of the building as he thought that New York City was overbuilt and overpopulated. However, he complied with the wishes of the client and the Guggenheim was set to be built next to Central Park as possible to keep it as close to nature as possible. It is located on the Upper East Side on 5th Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets across from Central Park.

The high-rise boom continues... (not sure why I even bother to use the Flickr map - here it states this is in Times Square even though I zoomed in and put it directly on the Bryant Park plot and exact street location)
