I was visiting New York City in October 2023 and the Flat Iron Building was one of the places I wanted to check out whilst I was in the area. Sadly when I got there I discovered that it is under renovation and it was completely covered in scaffolding. I could still make out parts of the building and its striking shape but I could not get any good pictures which I was a little disappointed about. It is in a nice area with a park nearby with plenty of places to sit and admire the passing activity and the architecture. Hopefully soon it will be back to its former glory.

One of New York icon building. Mostly walk around the neighborhood. Flatiron district I was here when it was a bit cold. Looks like place is hopping during spring-fall. It’s ok another budget friendly sight seeing place to go.

Beautiful & historic district in NYC! The Flatiron building is really amazing to see in person. As of Feb 2024 there appears to be work on the building with scaffolding on the sides. Still a beautiful view as well as many other iconic historical buildings all within a couple blocks to check out!

Never really taken a good luck at this incredible building before. There's a small park at the thin end of the iron and we sat there in admiration. We got talking with a big guy smoking a cigar who used to be a guide and he pointed out all the famous people's 'houses' in the area. I won't specify but one was the second richest man in the world. Nice area to stroll around.

It’s an iconic building and one that I wanted to see in the city. It’s still worth it, just be aware it’s currently covered in scaffold. The small park at the narrow end has a nice aspect and is a great spot for people watching. Dog watching too, as it has a couple of fenced off leash dog areas.
