Lovely old churches in amongst the tall buildings ! I'm loving the architecture!!!

 

Flatiron Building....amazing!! 22 storey steel framed...considered to be a ground breaking skyscraper!! Designed as a vertical Renaissance palazzo by Daniel Burnham from Chicago ,completed in 1902. Being a wedge shaped building,the name -Flatiron - derives from its resemblance to a cast iron- clothes iron!!

Great place...plenty of fresh food and lots of restaurants in the same space!
