The CHRYSLER BUILDING at the corner of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City is without a doubt the Coolest Skyscraper in the World. Yes! Well some might debate this, most will agree. Just look at it! It's Gorgeous and there is no other building quite like it in the World, Art Deco in all its fabulous splendor. But no one ever made such a vast enormous massive Art Deco Piece such as this. No one has ever come close. Designed by William Van Alen with ideas from Walter Chrysler. The Chrysler Building was meant to be the Headquarters of The Chrysler Corporation. It never was. Never-the-less this Gorgeous piece of Art Deco Brilliance is the Zenith of This Art Form "Art Deco."
The Empire State Building is taller and exceedingly more famous, it is beautiful and majestic but just not as Cool as The Chrysler. And with the great Empire State Building, The Art Deco Marvel of The Chrysler Building and The Triangular Flat Iron Building, there is no city in the World that could ever dream of coming close to the Cool Collection of New York Skyscrapers. Nobody! No City!
