Flatiron Building
Directions 212-484-1200

Designed by Daniel Burnham and completed in 1902, the Flatiron Building is one of New York City's most celebrated architectural icons. Located at the wedge intersection of Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 23rd Street, its unique triangular shape resembles a vintage clothes iron. While the interior is not open for public tours, visitors can admire its intricate Beaux-Arts facade and dramatic steel-frame silhouette from the street.

Quick tip: Head to Madison Square Park across the street for the best full-length photo of the building's famous prow.

Expert notes

  • The best way to enjoy the view is by walking, regardless of the weather. There is a beautiful outdoor seating area for lunch. Grab some food from nearby food vendors and eat there. It's a great place to take photos.
