New York City is my favorite place to be a tour guide. There are SO many unusual things NOT listed on the tourist maps. This is one of my favorites! 420 Lexington Avenue, NYC, one block from Grand Central Station. There was a time when Architects added unnecessary but wonderful embellishments to their buildings.

There was a time when ships mooring put cones on the ropes to keep rats off. This building is one of the few in NYC I am confident is rat free!
