No single architecture movement so greatly influenced modern New York as the Art Deco movement. It's an inescapable part of New York's mythos as well: much of the city's dark alter-ego, Gotham City, is styled in Art Deco. A prevalent feature of style in the 1920s and '30s, Art Deco informed everything from luncheonettes to apartments to subway station tiles and, of course, the Empire State and Chrysler buildings.
French comfort food in an intimate setting, a survivor of the 1980s keeps on producing Tribeca's most beloved bistro menu. Just as the atmosphere of the Odeon benefits from the intersection of early 20th century aesthetic sensibilities and modern dining accoutrements, it also exc...

1 Grand Army PlzAfter its completion in 1929, William van Alen’s 77-story Chrysler Building was the world’s tallest building at 925 feet for just a brief period. A proposed redesign of the Bank of Manhattan tower threatened the Chrysler Building by a mere two feet, so Walter P. Chrysler hastily ...
405 Lexington Avenue (bet. 42nd and 43rd streets)This building was the first in a cavalcade of Art Deco buildings around Central Park West. Built in 1929, you might be familiar with it already: although it was stacked on top of another building, 55 Central Park West played a supporting role in one of the most classic New York f...
55 Central Park WestCompleted in 1931, the building at 20 Exchange Place—more lengthily known as the City Bank-Farmers Trust Company building—vied for the title of Tallest Building in the World but was shorted by the Great Depression. (We're not ones to show favoritism, but: that didn't seem to stop...
20 Exchange PlAnother limestone spear puncturing the Manhattan skyline, the American International Building is a thin but imposing figure in the Financial District. The upper floors—with the AIA refers to as its "Gothic crown"—are reminiscent of the kind of mud castles you'd build on...
70 Pine StreetLeave it to New York to fashion a detention center in the Art Deco style: the New York City Criminal Court (and, of course, Detention Center) is almost imposing in the Orwellian sense, but its stately good looks help smooth over any notions of an Arkham-esque supervillain breakou...
100 Centre StYou're not likely to find many examples of Art Deco architecture in the Lower East Side, but the Ageloff Towers do just fine anyway: the stone depictions of mythical beasts above the doors make up for its otherwise obtrusive location.
141 E. 3rd StThis 50-story tall building is home to the Bank Of New York (although it's not to be confused with the Bank Of New York Building at 48 Wall Street) and is an Art Deco structure with a limestone facade and the usual steel infrastructure one expects (and requires) from a skyscraper...
1 Wall StVisitors to Central Park—particularly the ones who look west from the Bow Bridge (and who doesn't?)—will recognize the two towers of the Majestic Apartments immediately, looking like two huge Art Deco vents. From the other side, they look like two spectacularly attractive radiato...
115 Central Park WA somewhat—ahem—pointier counterpart to the Majestic Apartments, the El Dorado apartments are design in much the same way, what with the two towers surging upwards from the uber-massive single foundational building. The main difference, other than its more stately, regal overtone...
300 Central Park WestThis magnificent Art Deco building stands adjacent to the Chrysler Building, but is no less a sight with stunning terra cotta detail and one of the best collections of Art Deco artifices, rivaling those of even the GE and Empire State Buildings.
122 E 42nd StWhile the company itself holds a notable place in collegiate endeavors, the building itself—once the Broadway Fashion Building—is a gothic art deco masterpiece.
2315 BroadwayThe MetLife Tower (or MetLife Building, although it shares that moniker with its uptown brother—the former PanAm Building—at 200 Park Ave) is one of the few buildings that seems to remain in sight no matter where you go, like the eyes of a painting. Whereas the Empire State Build...
