When I went to Sony Square last weekend for a photo shoot we met at the Metropolitan Life North Building, known as Eleven Madison. It is a lovely 30-story art deco skyscraper overlooking Madison Square Park in Manhattan, New York City. The building is connected by an elevated walkway to the Met Life Tower just south of it.

Very nice. The bridge reminds of the bridge in Venice (I think it was to the prison or jail).

Great shots Sherry. I just marvel at the abundance of art-deco in NYC. There’s almost none left here.
