New York Palace Hotel Plaza

This is part of the New York Palace Hotel. Due to its opulent decor, it is a popular place for movie shoots. When I discovered it, there were two guys in kilts next to a stunning lady in a satin dress by the entrance. They were part of a wedding party waiting for the photographer. I thought I was intruding until I noticed the sign by the tables and chairs saying it was an area open to the public unless otherwise noted.

During the Christmas season, they decorate the plaza with a tall Christmas tree and beautifully ornate Christmas decorations to match the lobby of the hotel.

This is the Atrium at Citigroup Center located on Lexington Ave. by 53rd St. It comes upon you suddenly and is a nice respite. Inside there are three stories of restaurants and shops making it a comfortable place to duck in on a rainy or cold day.

There is a lot of information about the Citigroup Center itself, but not about this beautiful outdoor space. I will keep looking and post anything I learn about it here, so check back another time.
