51 (62) St Bartholomew's
Church (St Bart's)
With its pink
tinged brick, gold domed and romanesque terraced entrance St Bart's
is much loved by the locals for just being there. But apart from
its good looks St Bart's also hosts popular concerts. The church
brings a touch of color to Park Avenue and brightens the lives of
its visitors.
52 (63) General
Electric Building
General Electric
Building is an Art Deco delight with its marble lobby and a spiky
radio waves top.
The GE Building
was constructed close to St Bart's in order to both blend and contrast
with the Church. You can get a view of both impressive buildings
from corner of Park and 50th. Does the GE Building succeed in the
seemingly impossible balance of fitting in and standing out? You
decide.

Botanic Garden and The Brooklyn Museum of Art
 Reflect
at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Brooklyn Botanic
Garden is regarded as the premier horticultural attraction in the
region by The New York Times. The gardens might be slightly smaller

the season, something is always in bloom. You will enjoy the Garden's
many delights including the serenity of the Japanese Hill-and-Pond
Garden and the fragrant Cranford Rose Garden.
For family
action explore the children's Discovery Garden, or visit the Steinhardt
