Flatiron Building is a Tour Stop / Pick Up for the following tours:
Settled amidst the pulsing heart of New York City lies an iconic testament to architectural ingenuity—the Flatiron Building. Renowned for its captivating triangular design, which lends it the name 'flatiron', this groundbreaking edifice is found at the intersect of 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway in Manhattan. Its unique shape easily sets it apart, drawing the admiration of both travelers and residents alike. With its rich history, striking design, and prime location, the Flatiron Building is an indispensable cornerstone of any New York City tour.

The Flatiron Building, officially known as the Fuller Building, was birthed from the mind of Chicago architect Daniel Burnham. Its groundbreaking construction began in 1901 and was completed the following year. This 285 feet tall architectural marvel was one of the tallest buildings in New York City at the time of its erection. Surpassing the boundaries of conventional architectural design, the Flatiron Building was one of the earliest skyscrapers to utilize a steel framework and was initially regarded with skepticism due to its triangular formation. Today, however, it holds an esteemed place as a National Historic Landmark and is a distinguished monument in the annals of New York's architectural evolution.

Thriving within this 22-story limestone, terra-cotta, and steel concoction are a variety of headline-grabbing tenants, from book publishers to renowned casting agencies. The north side flaunts a sharp triangle, evoking the image of a ship's bow cutting through an ocean of city streets. The southern end expands into a more conventional rectangular form, housing the majority of offices. A spellbinding mural, 'Flatiron Mural,' by world famous artist/sculptor Eduardo Kobra, was bestowed upon its western wall in 2015, bringing a vibrant splash of modernity against its classical backdrop. Lending charm to the surroundings, Madison Square Park sits right across, bringing a slice of greenery and tranquility to the bustling locale.

As dusk shrouds the city, the Flatiron Building glows enticingly under the city lights, leading many to wander its periphery, captivated by its phenomenal perspective. Artists, photographers and lovers of architecture have attempted to capture its unique form, day or night, rain or shine; yet, every glimmer throws a new shadow, every angle offers a fresh line, making its visual appeal inexhaustible. The local cafes and restaurants, like the Italian restaurant 'Trattoria Italienne' located nearby, offer perfect observation points where one can relax and admire the structure over a steaming cup of coffee or a delicious meal.

The Flatiron Building is not just architecture; it is a slice of history wrapped in timeless allure, set against the backdrop of an ever-surging city rhythm. Whether you're an avid architecture enthusiast, a fervent photographer, or a traveler looking to immerse yourself in New York City's unique culture and history, the Flatiron Building is an unforgettable landmark that continues to captivate with its charm and historical significance. Its exceptional design, esteemed tenants, and vibrant cultural imprint make it an essential addition to any New York City itinerary.
