Fodor's Review:
When it was added in 1909, the 700-foot tower resembling the campanile of St. Mark's in Venice made this 1893 building the world's tallest. The clock's four faces are each three stories high, and their minute hands weigh half a ton each. The clock chimes on the quarter hour. The building and its art deco loggias have appeared in such films as Radio Days and The Fisher King.
- Metro: R, W, 6 to 23rd St.
