Only three blocks long, Central Park South is lined on one side with busy buildings, where people live in apartments that are mostly pricey and often glamorous. Squirrels, rats, raccoons, the homeless and statues reside on the other side, among the trees and bridges of Central Park.

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
-Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys, EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

When the whistle sounds joggers and walkers step out of the way for racing cyclists every 5 minutes through Central Park on Saturday mornings for the month of August.

"Architecture is art, and architecture is born from its situation, from its context. It's the context, as an idea, as a concept, that defines the overall architecture" ―Jean Nouvel, The Pritzker Prize-winning French architect's designed tower at 53 West 53rd Street sits beside the existing MoMA building, and will incorporate three levels of gallery spaces at its base.
