New York City Sights

Daily News Building

Daily News Building Review

One of the city's most unusual lobbies resides in Raymond Hood's Art Deco and modernist tower. An illuminated 12-foot globe revolves beneath a black glass dome. Around it, spreading across the floor like a giant compass and literally positioning New York at the center of the world, bronze lines indicate mileage to various international destinations. The Daily News, however, hasn't called this building home since the mid-1990s, 15 years after it played the offices of the fictional newspaper the Daily Planet in the original Superman movie.
