Half Day Art Deco Manhattan History Tour

Having lived here for my entire life, I fell in love with the fact that New York City has so many different architectural styles, all of them get their time in the spotlight. And the use of these different styles is what gives the New York City skyline such a unique look and like to think that I am just illuminating what is already there in a crowded field. In the City of New York, I have discovered that there are 5 reasons as to why buildings are built where they are built and why they were built - ego is one them. Buildings are reflections of their egos, saying "look at me, look at me, look at me". Because of the competition for your attention and the densely packed skyline, buildings had stand out or be lost in the view. Art Deco was not invented here but some of the greatest examples of are right here in Manhattan. Some of these buildings are icons, not just of the City but of the style itself. they all contribute to what makes the skyline here so unique and make me so proud that I live here.
