Yes, we know, as a New Yorker, you’re supposed to keep walking, not stop and gawk at the skyscrapers. But on the rare occasion that you do look up, do you have any clue which buildings you’re looking at?
It turns out a lot of you don’t, and that’s why the Illuminating Engineering Society of New York created a pretty badass night-time skyline map. The Daily News took the map around town to see if New Yorkers could identify buildings, and (shocker) they couldn’t.
So here’s your chance. Try to ID as many buildings as you can. The answers are after the break. [NY Daily News]
