This is where I used to work and haunt Smoke away my time on my job!
This is the corners of 57 and 58th and 5th avenue in NYC. Then the GM building as I call it, as that was before Trump bought it (and I think sold?). Should have left them larger, but all cool.
This is the corner of 57th ave and 5th ave. This would be my view when I walked out towards the street on a smoke break. Stay to the left of the fountain and walk down 57th and that's where I parked for 10 years. The fountain is quite famous and in a million movies! And that's the infamous Plaza Hotel behind it, in an equal amount of movies. Always wanted to stay there, but I like my money! Ate on those steps like 5,000 times. There was almost always those live performers at that open area on the corner.

This is the corner of 58th and 5th, with the Plaza Hotel just to your left there. Up that road on the right is where all the horses park for rides through Central Park, and that is the entrance to the park right there where you see the trees. Every year a monster sized menorah goes out in front of that statue and gets lit slowly.

This is where I worked, in the "GM Building" as it was known as for so long before Trump bought it in like 2000 or so. It was 50 floors high I believe and I worked on the 44th floor. But the firm had attorneys on like 15 of the floors we had to service. And our main IT dept. was on the 12th and then 24th floor.

This is out from the street area facing the GM building base. I remember very vividly walking out to the dead center of this street and looking south and seeing all of the rising smoke and sirens on 9/11.
That square glass thing is some entrance to Apple store and didn't appear until after I was gone. None of that construction was ever there either. To the right of the building, that smaller size to the right, is the infamous "FAO Schwartz" store, also in a million movies. And now with an Apple logo on that too, I have to guess it's gone. Should have left it, it was too famous to move and made a KILLING!

Was gonna do like a little mini tour of places I have been, but not quite interesting unless you've been there before. Probably just another city to most. So much time for me and so many memories came back just grabbing these few pictures!!
