I didn't watch the Fights Of Nations trilogy, not having the
bandwidth, but I watched the Flatiron one, with the wind and the
hats. That whole area by there up through the park (Madison Square
Pk.) into the side streets east of it-- particularly Madison Avenue
and 24th street-- are just filled overflowing with wind, from
seemingly every direction at once. 24th street especially, probably
because of the buildings funneling it. Awful during the rain,
renders umbrellas useless (not that they're much good in anything
more than a slight breeze anyway).
I was in the Flatiron building last week, for a training course. I
was struck by the elevators-- mirrored all over, with an iron
scrollwork style of thing in front of the mirrors. And a domed
ceiling to top (ha) it all off. Very very nice. Also the up-to-date
button panel, much better than the dingy 1960s-techno that we've
got here. Also, those elevators didn't echo with the sounds of
metal smacking against metal like mine do.
