It was fantastic to see this iconic building. Unfortunately, it was under renovation and had scaffolding all around it, but it was still impressive. It was one of the many places I looked forward to visiting. I'll get to tell my granddaughters about it when I see it in movies.

The R Train drops you off right under the Flatiron Building. It was being cleaned or under construction. Still, it's impressive. This gives me a reason to come back!

Great to see this iconic structure. The area is lively and classy. The famous Tiffany street clock is also here, right next to Madison Square Park (not Garden). There are nice places to eat indoors nearby. It deserves a stop to walk around.

The building is under renovation and is all covered up, but it remains a beautiful design. I suggest taking a stroll through and around Madison Square Park on the way to or from the building. The portal to Dublin was operational and quite cool to see as well.

We didn’t go inside, but The Flat Iron is one of those iconic NY buildings that anyone interested in how buildings shape a city should visit. My photo is of a chocolate sculpture I saw nearby because I loved the detail.
