The view of Manhattan's East Side, from Roosevelt Island. It's interesting to see how the Trump World Tower dominates the East Side skyline, amongst the Chrysler, MetLife (former Pan-Am), and Citicorp Center buildings. At this size and resolution, you can barely make out the airplane in the sky, which is what Gothamist was trying to shoot in the first place, as we are fascinated by planes in relation to city buildlings.

Roosevelt Island is definitely underappreciated. Few people know about the pedestrian bridge that connects RI to Queens. Great for bike rides and Sunday afternoons.
I was recently taking pictures of the skyline from the B'klyn Bridge. When I got home and saw the results, there was this really tall, thin, black building sticking up on the far east side of the panorama... Trump World Tower, I assume. Aside from it's size and location, a characterless building, for sure.
just thought i'd stick up for the trump word tower. i think it's a slick monument that holds down its east side spot nicely. the lobby/foyer thing doesn't do justice to it's exterior tho.
I think the Trump's characterlessness works well, it's very modern, but it's just this huge lump there. It'll just take a while to get used to.
