Art Deco in NYC

Arguably the worst area in Manhattan is 42nd street. Every time I have to go to that neighborhood, I simply wish to get the fxxk out of there. Around Port Authority, tourists and alcholics occupy the side streets. This is the street I always walk by as fast as I can. To my surprise, I found this Art Deco-style building. It's mostly covered by scaffolding so the picture unfortunately turned out a bit dark. The silver metalic element gorgeously reflects the light of the ceiling lamp and brightens the mossy green-solid black border design. Many new buildings use chic, modern designs. These new ones, if done poorly, can be uninterestingly bland architecture. I wish to see more buildings with character and history.
