From the Art Museum steps one can see a mini-view of the Philadelphia skyline and City Hall. We are looking over the shoulders of George Washington on horseback.

Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers.


Looking south from Rockefeller Center is the best view of the island of Manhattan. You can clearly see the Empire State Building and Times Square to the right of it in the foreground. The Financial District and the newly emerging World Trade Center rise up in the distance. To the right of the Financial District is Jersey City. I often wonder how many skyscrapers will be in New York City 25 years from now.
