The Daily News Building is an Art-Deco style skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Located at 220 East 42nd Street, the 476-foot 37-storey skyscraper has vertical stripes of windows separated by brown brick in the spandrels between the windows. The building is the headquarters of the Daily News, a newspaper that was founded in 1919, which within 6 years has grown to be selling a million copies.

The Daily News Building was designed in 1930 by architect Raymond Hood, who later also designed Rockefeller Center. You can see similarities in the style of both buildings.

The deco and style of the Daily News Building is the model for the fictional newspaper Daily Planet, where Superman worked as the journalist Clark Kent.

How to reach the Daily News Building

Take the 7 train to the Grand Central subway station, or the 4, 5, 6 or S train to the Grand Central / 42nd Street subway station. Walk east along East 42nd Street until you see the Daily News Building on the right side of the street.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
