Chrysler Building, New York City, New York

The Chrysler Building is regarded as New York’s most beautiful skyscraper, and its distinctive Art Deco tower is famous worldwide. Located at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue, the Chrysler Building was once the tallest in the world – but still regarded as the locals’ favorite. There is no observation platform such a as the one at the Empire State Building, but the Art Deco murals by Edward Trumbull inside the lobby are as stunning as the building itself. Visitors to New York City can easily spot it from Times Square, and find their way to it by eye. While it’s great to look at during the day, it’s even lovelier at night, when it’s lit in white. The Chrysler Building is a classic must-see for families vacationing in New York – either up close or at a distance.
