Flatiron Building

I had a nice stroll down Park Avenue to my son's office where we made our lunch plans for the day. This gave me two hours to explore Midtown on my own, so I headed south to Madison Square Park and the iconic Flatiron Building, which was the farthest south I ventured in Manhattan that day. The name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron.

Best viewed large to see the architectural details.

Update: went to the doc, I have a very bad case of stomach flu. He gave me some meds and I am starting to feel a little better. Thanks so much for all your kind expressions of concern and well wishes. Bummer about missing the holiday but I would not be having a good time in Mexico as I can not eat solid foods or drink any alcohol and I just don't feel like myself.
