Nancy and I took the train to NYC early this week for meetings, and to do some work and research. We stayed at 3rd Avenue 42nd Street. I had about 2 hours to myself right after we arrived, so I decided to walk over to one of my favorite buildings, the Chrysler Building, one of NYC's unsung (or at least less sung) architectural wonders. But everywhere I looked I saw little architectural wonders. Here's a collection of some of them, all found in a few block radius from Grand Central, and easily walked in an hour or less.
