The Center was destroyed to make way for the Trump World Tower. In 1997, Trump and his partners, including the Daewoo Corp., a South Korean conglomerate, signed a deal to purchase the site from the United Engineering Trustees for $52 million. Trump also acquired unused air rights from at least seven adjacent low-rise properties, specifically two brownstones, the Catholic Holy Family Church and the Japan Society. Demolition began in October 1998.

River House is a co-op apartment building located at 435 East 52nd Street in Manhattan, New York.HistoryThe River House was constructed in 1931 on the site of a former cigar factory. Originally, the building featured a pier where residents could dock their yachts, but that amenity was lost with the construction of the FDR Drive. The building has a gated cobblestone courtyard featuring a fountain. The building's 26 story tower is decorated in an Art Deco style.Historically, the co-op board was notorious for turning away applicants who failed to meet strict liquidity requirements or those whose "comings and goings would attract unwelcome publicity to the River House". Famously, Gloria Vanderbilt was rejected by the board in 1980. She accused the board of racism (she was in a relationship with African-American singer Bobby Short), while the board claimed she had been rejected on her merits. Other celebrities alleged to have been rejected by the board include Richard Nixon, Diane Keaton, Joan Crawford and lately the French Ambassador to the United Nations.The River ClubParts of the lower levels of the building are leased to the River Club, a private club that counts slightly more than half of the building's shareholders among its 900 or so members. the members, who include David H. Koch and Aerin Lauder, pay approximately $10,000 in annual membership fees. The club includes a restaurant, an indoor pool and tennis courts.

303 East 51st Street is a skyscraper currently under construction as the Halcyon Condos in the Turtle Bay neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The residential building is planned to rise 504ft with 44 floors.The building was under construction when, on March 15, 2008, the luffing-jib tower crane used to construct the skyscraper snapped off and fell, killing seven people in what Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the worst construction accident in New York City in recent history.HistoryThe original design for the skyscraper was a 40-story building that stood 470 feet tall. On December 19, 2007, during the building's construction, the developer decided to scale up the building slightly to 44 stories for 117 residential units and 504ft tall. The exterior of the skyscraper will be clad in silverly glass and there will be many angled balconies extending out from the building.Even before the crane accident in March, the New York City Department of Buildings issued 13 safety violations for construction site and contractor, with two of those citations being serious. The Department and Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the infractions were normal for a project of this scale, much to the ire of local residents. There was a report on March 4 that said the crane was structurally detached from the building, although that claim was discredited later in an arrest.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is a 4acre memorial to Franklin D. Roosevelt that celebrates the Four Freedoms he articulated in his 1941 State of the Union address. It is located adjacent to the historic Smallpox Hospital in New York City at the southernmost point of Roosevelt Island, in the East River between Manhattan Island and Queens. It was designed by the architect Louis Kahn.

City Hospital was a historic hospital on Roosevelt Island, Manhattan in New York City.HistoryOriginally named Penitentiary Hospital and located on what was then known as Blackwell's Island, the first hospital was built in 1832 to serve the prisoners housed at Blackwell's Penitentiary. After the hospital was destroyed by a fire in 1858, architect James Renwick, Jr. designed a new building to be called City Hospital, on which prisoners completed construction in 1861. It served both inmates and New York City's poorer population. In 1870, the hospital was renamed Charity Hospital and a medical superintendent was hired after the quality of care was criticized. The city changed the name of the island to Welfare Island to reflect the mission of the institutions located there.AbandonmentThe prison closed in 1935, and the hospital was closed in 1957, when operations for Charity Hospital and Smallpox Hospital were moved to Queens. The building, designed in the Second Empire style, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, but not given protected landmark status. The next year, Welfare Island was renamed Roosevelt Island in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The hospital was demolished in 1994, with stones salvaged from the structure used to the line paths in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, which was constructed on southern tip of the island.

The Lipstick Building is a 453-foot tall skyscraper located at 885 Third Avenue, between East 53rd Street and 54th Street, across from the Citigroup Center in Manhattan, New York City, United States. It was completed in 1986 and has 34 floors. The building was designed by John Burgee Architects with Philip Johnson. The building receives its name from its shape and color, which resemble a tube of lipstick.The company that owned the building, Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue LLC, filed for bankruptcy in 2010 after overpaying for the property.DescriptionAt three levels the Lipstick Building's wall is set back in response to Manhattan's zoning regulation, which requires the building to recede from the street within its spatial envelope, to increase the availability of light at street level. The result is a form that looks as though it could retract telescopically. The shape, which is unusual in comparison to surrounding buildings, uses less space at the base than a regular skyscraper of quadrilateral footprint would use. This provides more room for the heavy pedestrian traffic along Third Avenue.At the base, the building stands on columns which act as an entrance for a vast post-modern hall. They are two stories high and separate the street from the nine-meter (30 ft) high lobby. Because the elevators and emergency staircases are located to the rear of the building, this area appears hollow.

羅斯福島空中纜車 （Roosevelt Island Tramway），是一條橫跨紐約市東河，連接曼哈頓島和羅斯福島的纜車系統，啟用於1976年，由羅斯福島營運公司（the Roosevelt Island Operate Corp, RIOC）營運，每輛纜車至多可載客125名，自島上到曼哈頓大約5分鐘可達，每日平均運行115次。費用也相當於紐約地鐵的票價。在2006年12月波特蘭空中纜車開通前，該系統是北美洲唯一的通勤纜車系統。歷史從前，羅斯福島與曼哈頓島以一條通過皇后區大橋的路面電車互相連結，來往皇后區的電車會在橋的中心停車，橋的中心有一個升降機，前往羅斯福島的乘客會在該處乘搭升降機到達該島。在紐約市其他電車路線全部停止服務並拆卸後，這條電車路線也終於在1957年停運，成為了紐約州最後一條電車路線。在1970年代中葉起，羅斯福島重新規劃為一個中低收入住宅小區，需要一座能連接羅斯福島及曼哈頓之間的交通系統。有鑑於此，政府委託瑞士公司興建羅斯福島纜車系統，於1976年正式營運，一開始僅作為臨時通勤工具使用，後來當局決定建造一條地鐵路線（IND63街線）銜接，然而在該線於1989年落成之後，羅斯福島纜車系統仍然十分受到歡迎，而沒有面臨停駛的命運。近年在2005年紐約市交通大罷工時，羅斯福島纜車是數條繼續服務的市內交通路線之一。在2006年4月18日下午5時22分（東岸時間，下同），纜車系統發生了一場電力故障，兩輛纜車車廂因而在東河上空懸吊了12個小時，68名乘客與1名駕駛員被困其中，救援隊在10時55分至翌日上午4時07分陸續救出乘客。該事故導致纜車的運作中止了足足6個月。RIOC公司為此投資了50萬美元，更新纜車的電力系統。該公司還宣佈，公司將再投放1500萬美元，對纜車系統進行大修。2006年9月1日纜車系統重新營運。利用狀況纜車系統容許殘障人士及單車使用。在曼哈頓島端，紐約地鐵最近的地鐵站為萊辛頓大道－59街站及59街站。

The Racquet and Tennis Club is a private social club and athletic club located at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets, New York, New York.BuildingDesigned by Charles Follen McKim of the former firm McKim, Mead, and White in an integrated Italian Renaissance style, the Racquet and Tennis Club building is representative of the ornate private clubs constructed in New York during the early twentieth century. Today it performs an important architectural role on Park Avenue as a foil to the Seagram Building and the Lever House and other corporate structures in the glass-clad vocabulary of International Modernism.Construction began on December 20, 1916, and was completed on September 7, 1918. The builder was Mark Edlitz, and the estimated cost was $400,000. The building is about 200 feet by 100 feet (30 m x 60 m) and five stories tall. The exterior is stone and brick over a structural steel frame. According to the original plans, the interior contained three dining rooms, a billiard room, library, lounge, gymnasium, four squash courts, two court tennis (real tennis) courts, and two racquets courts. Today, there are four International squash courts, one North American doubles squash court, one racquets court, and the two court (real) tennis courts.

The MetLife Building is a 59-story skyscraper at 200 Park Avenue at East 45th Street above Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1960–63 as the Pan Am Building, the then-headquarters of Pan American World Airways, it was designed by Emery Roth & Sons, Pietro Belluschi and Walter Gropius in the International style. The world's largest commercial office space by square footage at its opening, it remains one of the hundred tallest buildings in the United States.HistoryIn September 1960, Pan Am founder Juan Trippe signed a 25-year, $115,500,000 lease with the building's developer, Erwin Wolfson, allowing the airline to occupy 613000sqft, or about 15 floors, plus a new main ticket office at 45th Street and Vanderbilt Avenue.When it opened on March 7, 1963, the Pan Am Building (as it was known at the time) was the largest commercial office space in the world by square footage. It was initially an unpopular sight due to its lack of proportion and huge scale—it dwarfed the New York Central Building to the north and Grand Central Terminal to the south. The building was surpassed in size by the World Trade Center in 1970–71 as well as 55 Water Street in 1972.

The Campbell Apartment is a public bar and cocktail lounge—currently closed due to a change in management—located in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The space was once the office of American financier John W. Campbell, a member of the New York Central Railroad's board of directors. Later used for office space, as a studio by CBS Radio and as a jail by Metro-North Railroad, the space was restored to its original opulence following renovations totaling nearly $2 million in 1999 and 2007.Located in the southwestern corner of the Grand Central Terminal building — above the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue — the space is reached by a staircase from the Balcony Level. It was first leased in 1923 by John Campbell from William Kissam Vanderbilt II, whose family built the Terminal. The 3500sqft space was a single room 60ft long by 30ft wide with a 25ft ceiling and an enormous faux fireplace in which Campbell kept a steel safe. At that time, it was the largest ground floor space in Manhattan. Campbell commissioned Augustus N. Allen, an architect known for designing estates on Long Island and town houses in Manhattan, to build an opulent office, transforming the room into a 13th-century Florentine palace with a hand-painted plaster of paris ceiling and leaded windows. Its mahogany balcony with a quatrefoil design that still exists today. The Persian carpet that took up the entire floor was said to have cost $300,000, or roughly $3.5 million today. Campbell added a piano and pipe organ, and at night turned his office into a reception hall, entertaining 50 or 60 friends who came to hear famous musicians play private recitals. He had a butler named Stackhouse.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually in Rockefeller Center, in Midtown Manhattan. The tree is erected in early to mid November and lit in late November or early December. In recent years, the lighting has been broadcast live, nationwide, on NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center show and scheduled for the Wednesday after Thanksgiving with the tree lighting ceremony held at the end of every broadcast. The tree, usually a Norway spruce 69to tall, has been put up every year since 1933. The 2015 Christmas Tree Lighting took place on December 2 and remained on display through January 6, 2016.Selection and decorationMany Rockefeller trees were donated to Rockefeller Center. The late David Murbach, Manager of the Gardens Division of Rockefeller Center, scouted in a helicopter for the desired tree in areas including Connecticut, New Jersey, upstate New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and even Ottawa, Canada. The trees are now scouted by the Head Gardener at Rockefeller Center, Erik Pauzé. Once a suitable tree is located, a crane supports it while it is cut and moves it to a custom telescoping trailer that can transport trees up to tall, although the width of New York City streets passing through Rockefeller Center limits the height of the trees to. Local, family-owned business, Christmas Tree Brooklyn provides logistics support for delivering the tree safely into the city.
