Do you prefer your whiskey in a bottle or a ...building?

375 Park Avenue
 New York, NY 10152
 

Haha yes I said building, built in 1958. Fun fact: Seagrams Whiskey hired to design a building(where Seagrams was once based) to resemble their own whiskey bottle creation. He did just this, having the building made out of bronze and dark glass in the shape of the Seagram whiskey bottle while still having it exude "elegance and the principles of modernism". Located directly in Midtown on Park Avenue "Mies’ solution set a standard for the modern skyscraper".

Check it out for yourself. Can you see it? I can now, and it is very interesting.
