While we were in New York my beloved, beautiful, angel, brilliant wife read a news article about new skyscrapers. It said that there were going to be two new buildings in Manhattan that would be taller than the Empire State Building. I thought it was referring to the future. Apparently, that future is now.
Earlier today I read this New York Times article about an ugly new slim jim of a skyscraper that is already not only taller than the Empire State Building, but it’s taller than the Freedom Tower sans antenna.
That’s when I realized, that I’d already noticed this new building.
It’s that ugly eyesore towering over everything else in the picture. While on top of the Empire State Building I thought it looked taller, but couldn’t say for sure. Maybe my eyes were being tricked, or maybe they were just frozen. I’m also pretty sure I had not noticed it the last few times we were up high in New York.
So there you have it. That skinny, ugly, wisp of an anorexic looking building is the new 2nd tallest skyscraper in New York.
