Just there to admire the architecture. There is a free wifi-spot nearby with seatings. In my opinion, not worth it to travel there just for the building. Suggest to plan "viewing" of the Flatiron Building near your meal time so you can dine at the Shake Shack at Madison Square Park which is just beside Flatiron Building.

This is one of my favourite buildings in New York. Not the tallest, but perfectly formed. Looks great from the top of the Empire State Building, as it does up close.

It is an interesting building, and worth seeing. We wandered about looking for a place to eat and found it (It is also a stones throw away from Eately!)

We sat in the park adjacent this building in the sun on a chilly day and it was nice. We walked up from behind the building so we saw the wider side first, which makes the view on the thin side even more intriguing. It is most definitely worth seeing, but not exactly something to do. Something you can look... More

The Flatiron was only two blocks from our hotel. We greatly enjoyed seeing the building everyday as we left. It is so close to the Empire State Building too. In Spring you MUST go to the Mad Street Eats. Wonderful place to eat and relax. Or people watch.

The architecture is so interesting. We enjoyed walking all around that area of New York. There are many beautiful buildings nearby and lots of great shopping.
