This behemoth will turn 100 in 17 years (2031). As will the Empire State Building and in 2030 40 Wall and Chrysler. It will be the Roaring 20's all over again.

I say NYC starts at the Verrazano Bridge and ends at the George Washington Bridge. Manhattan however starts at the World Trade Center and ends at Columbia University.
