Let’s face it. There’s always construction happening in New York City and always a new building popping up. In recent years, we’ve had so many additions to the skyscraper line-up that the city skyline will be forever changed. Though many of these new buildings are miles tall and very impressive, they leave much to be desired in the creative department.

However, there are many less prominent, but ingenious modern masterpieces out there whose originality will stop you dead in your tracks. Today, I plan to take you along on a trip throughout the city, so that we can explore some of the quirkiest and most creative modern architecture you will feast you eyes on. In the mix are some new construction, as well as some more established ones that have been around for decades.

Tourists, architecture buffs, design freaks, and even locals, hold on tight cause it’s gonna be a fun and crazy ride today!

So here are the 19 most unusual buildings in New York City.
