This is the Flatiron building, taken on a morning walk in Madison Square Park - another reason the Hotel Giraffe is a great place to stay. Shortly after settling into the hotel we were startled to see life-sized, anatomically correct, male statues (naked no less) all over the place...some on the sidewalks but most on the tops of buildings, such as this one. They were placed there by an English sculptor named Antony Gormley in a short-lived exhibit that was to be taken down just a couple of weeks after our visit. Not surprisingly, at first many calls were made to the police from folks who thought they were suicides.
