On Saturdays the lobby of this building is C-L-O-S-E-D. It's roped off at the entry; the lights are dimmed, and you can see almost nothing from the mats they let you stand on just inside the revolving doors. The guards don't even acknowledge your existence. You end up feeling like you have something nasty and contagious. So, please save your... more

I've always admired the architecture of the Chrysler Building. Built during the zenith of the American Art Deco period, it is one of the definitive examples of Art Deco architecture.
