When I was younger, I was obsessed with my American Girl Doll Samantha. In the movie and books, I distinctly remember her talking about the flatiron building which was being built during the time period her character lived in. So, when my mom finally took me to New York, I begged to go and see the flatiron building. This building still remains one of my favorite buildings in New York City just because of how it’s placed. Being among so many skyscrapers that look almost identical and then seeing a triangle shaped building was super cool to me. Also the fact that when I was younger, I felt like I was having the “Samantha experience” which is something that makes this building stand out to me.
