“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

The building in the first photo looks like the Daily Bugle!
thepinoycatholic,
I looked at the first picture and thought the EXACT same thing!!
Ah… getting close to the Village?
Beware of Idiots. [More like beware of deviants and the physically mutilated.]
I believe the first building is the “Flat Iron” building. I’ve stood in front of it before. I miss New York.
Father Z., enjoy the ‘beautimous’ weather there… in the Midwest it is crap-ta-cious…although we need the rain…but the humidity is just, well,,,anyway…enjoy NY, NY!!:<)!
Yes, the Flatiron Building! On the site of my great-great-grandfather’s hotel:

Wow, Fr. Thompson, that’s cool! I was on a tour of this area about 7 years ago and we stopped at a restaurant that isn’t far from the Flatiron building. They had the BEST mashed potatos ever! It was famed for being a hangout of JFK Jr. apparently (don’t know why that stuck in my head.) Anyway, if anyone knows which restaurant I”m talking about and can give me the name, I’d be very grateful. My husband and I are planning a NYC trip this fall and I’d love to take him there. The potatos were THAT good.
There’s an interesting article on the Flatiron building in Hell’s Bible at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/realestate/commercial/26flatiron.html?sq=flatiron%20building&st=cse&scp=1&pagewanted=all. And it has been indeed very pleasant today.
The Chrysler’s my favorite New York skyscraper, too. The very Queen of the Skyline.
Lucky you, Father.
I read in Hell’s Bible that the Flat Iron Building was designed by Daniel Burnham who was the famous urban planner of the capital city of the Philippines, Manila. He also designed our famous parks here in the Philippines one of which is named after him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnham_Park_%28Philippines%29
Skate for supper?
Here in Virginia Beach, we used to catch these guys all the time when we were surf fishing. I never knew they were edible.
Flatiron and Chrysler do have their charm.
I’ve always had a fondness for the Woolworth Building, though.

Father, is that a shout out to Radical Orthodoxy?
ignatius: Someone recognized the reference!
I didn’t know that the top of the Chrysler Building was ‘stylized hubcaps’-very cool!
Ah, the way they made buildings back then-all different! Not the ‘cookie-cutter’ sameness of today!
You sure lucked out on the weather, Father Z! NYC can be a real ‘hot-box’ at times!
I notice that the Empire State building is lighted in purple and blue for United Nations ocean awareness. However, lighting it in blue and white for Mother Teresa’s 100th birthday anniversary continues to be a problem. It seems that caring for the sick and dying is controversial.
