This picture is not a prize winner but it shows how alive lower Broadway is at night, how the Empire State dominates the area ("NoMad" or north of Madison Square park), and the handsomeness of the old Gilsey House hotel. This second empire gem was built in 1867 as one of the swankiest in the city. It served the new entertainment district there, which later moved uptown to Times Square. It is now coop apartments and safely on the National Register.
