Fulton Transportation Center

On Monday evening I got a message from a contact on Flickr saying she worked near to the Flatiron Building, and would we like to meet? We would, but it turned out that technical issues with Jools’ new mobile, and whatever meant that once we left the hotel room, we could not make contact with her, so we said we would be out front of the Flatiron at three, hope to see her there.

She had recommended that we visit the Oculus at the World Trade Center, a huge white egg-shaped building, which is a transport hub, and is very photogenic.

We left the hotel and walked down to the 24hour diner, had breakfast; then walked to the subway station and boarded a southbound train to the new WTC station.

Turns out Diane was right, the building is huge, pure white and supported by ribs like some kind of monster’s skeleton. I am trying to describe it, but really, words fail me on this. At either end there were ergonomically designed stairways that looked amazing.

We went outside, and were dazzled by the ring of huge buildings, including the new Freedom Tower. On the ground in front of us was an artisan market, that we did not look at.
We walked round the building, back inside to look for the subway station to take us to Midtown, but the signs took us on a long route, coming to another new part of the interchange, and another stunning piece of building design.

We stopped to take more pictures, obviously.
