The Empire State Building opened ahead of schedule in 1931 taking only one year and 45 days to build. It is currently the tallest building in NYC.
This area was originally named Longacre Square but was renamed in 1904 when the NY Times moved to the skyscraper now known as One Times Square at 42nd St., famous for the Times Square Ball drop.
Говорят, что чтобы понять русскую культуру, достаточно увидеть Собор Василия Блаженного. Добавим Мавзолей, Спасскую башню и ГУМ, и картина будет действительно полной:)
