C) This building is a skyscraper that was named after a car manufacturer Walter Chrysler. It has a very beautiful tower and inside there are offices.

D) This is a complex of commercial buildings that was built by the Rockefeller family. It is popular with tourists because there is an observation deck called the Top of the Rock. When you climb up to the deck, you can see the whole city of New York. In front of the main building, in winter season, there stands a Christmas Tree and the area turns into an ice-rink, so that New Yorkers can come there to enjoy ice-skating.

E) This is a tall building that was built in 1931 and it was the tallest building in New York. Now it is a popular tourist place and you can go and visit the observation deck on the 86th floor and get an amazing view of the city during the day or at night.

There is also a spot where John Lennon was killed when he went jogging to the park one day in the morning. On this place there is a mosaic circle with the inscription “Imagine” – it was a song that was written by John Lennon.

H) It is an old railroad that was built in 1860s. When the railroad was closed, many wild plants and grass started to grow there. Then the railroad turned into a park and now you can have a walk there, sit on the benches and enjoy the beautiful view.
