goes:
Take in the entire new Grand
Central Station skyline belt, with

To get a particularly memorable
view Of this fast changing ~skyscrap-
er zone, choose a place in Library
Square. or the Sixth Avenue elevated
station at Forty-second street.

Eighth street becomes a highway
Of ''villagy" shops and eating places
from Fifth to Sixth avenue, any Of

The miles Of swanky new model
apartments that now line the East
river ...... And. If you've never
seen IL before, don't miss the Times
| Square shuttle crowds at rush hour,
nor the kaleidoscope of humanity in
| Grand Central Station ...... While
there, pass a half hour figuring out
how much exploration you can do
and how many novelties you can
find without leaving the building.
