There is no better place to start our journey in time than New York. Called the city of all cities it has always provoked human imagination. Just like everything else there, its stunning architectural landmarks are well known to all people no matter where they live. You can read about it, but you have to see it, because one picture is worth a thousand words. Join me in this trip to the early 20th century!
