New York City, the most populous city in the United States, is home to over 7,000 completed high-rise buildings of at least 115 feet (35 m), of which at least 101 are taller than 650 feet (198 m). The tallest building in New York is One World Trade Center, which rises 1,776 feet (541 m). The 104-story skyscraper also stands as the tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest building in the world. At 1,550 feet (472 m), Central Park Tower is the second-tallest completed building in the city. It has the highest roof of any building outside Asia, and is the tallest residential building in the world. The third-tallest completed building in the city is 111 West 57th Street. Rising to 1,428 feet (435 m), it is the world's most slender skyscraper. The fourth-tallest is One Vanderbilt. At 1,401 feet (427 m), it is the tallest office building in Midtown. The fifth-tallest is 432 Park Avenue at 1,397 feet (426 m).

At 1,250 feet (381 m), the 102-story Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, which was finished in 1931, stood as the tallest building in the world from its completion until 1970, when construction on the 1,368-foot (417 m) North Tower of the original World Trade Center surpassed it. It is the ninth-tallest building in the United States, and rises to a pinnacle of 1,454 feet (443 m) including its antenna. The North Tower (the original One World Trade Center), along with its twin the South Tower (the first Two World Trade Center), which was six feet shorter, held this title only briefly as they were both surpassed by construction of the 110-story Willis Tower (then, and still colloquially, known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago in 1973. The Twin Towers remained the tallest buildings in New York City until they were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks, leaving the Empire State Building again as the city's tallest building. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, they would be sixth and seventh on the list, with their replacement-the new One World Trade Center-being excluded.

The new One World Trade Center began construction in 2006; in April 2012 it surpassed the Empire State Building to become the city's tallest. Upon its topping out in May 2013, the 1,776-foot (541 m) One World Trade Center surpassed the Willis Tower to become the tallest building in the United States, and the Western Hemisphere. One World Trade Center is part of the redevelopment of the World Trade Center, which also includes the 1,079-foot (329 m) 3 World Trade Center, the 977-foot (298 m) 4 World Trade Center, the 743-foot (226 m) 7 World Trade Center, the proposed 900-foot (274 m) 5 World Trade Center, and one partly constructed on-hold building: the 1,323-foot (403 m) 2 World Trade Center.

The majority of skyscrapers in New York City are concentrated in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, although other neighborhoods of Manhattan and the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx also contain some high-rises. As of January 2023, there were 309 completed skyscrapers that rose at least 492 feet (150 m) in height, more than any other city in the United States, and third most in the world exceeded only by Hong Kong and Shenzhen; an additional 20 are under construction.

The history of skyscrapers in New York City began with the construction of the Equitable Life, Western Union, and Tribune buildings in the early 1870s. These relatively short early skyscrapers, sometimes referred to as "preskyscrapers" or "protoskyscrapers", included features such as a steel frame and elevators-then-new innovations that were used in the city's later skyscrapers. Modern skyscraper construction began with the completion of the World Building in 1890; the structure rose to a pinnacle of 349 feet (106 m). Though not the city's first high-rise, it was the first building to surpass the 284-foot (87 m) spire of Trinity Church. The World Building, which stood as the tallest in the city until 1899, was demolished in 1955 to allow for the construction of an expanded entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Park Row Building, at 391 feet (119 m), was the city's tallest building from 1899 to 1908, and the world's tallest office building during the same time span. By 1900, fifteen skyscrapers in New York City exceeded 250 feet (76 m) in height.

New York has played a prominent role in the development of the skyscraper. Since 1890, ten of those built in the city have held the title of world's tallest. New York City went through two very early high-rise construction booms, the first of which spanned the 1890s through the 1910s, and the second from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s. During this period 44 skyscrapers over 492 feet (150 m) were built-including the Singer Building, Met Life Tower, Woolworth Building, 40 Wall Street, the Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building, each of which was the tallest in the world at the time of its completion, the last remaining so for forty years.

Skyscraper construction resumed in the early 1960s, with construction surges in the early 1970s, late 1980s, and late 2010s. In total, the city has seen the rise of over 100 completed and topped-out structures at least 650 feet (198 m) high, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and the current World Trade Center redevelopment.

This list ranks completed and topped out New York City skyscrapers that stand at least 650 feet (198 m) tall based on standard height measurements. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. An asterisk (*) indicates that the building is still under construction but has been topped out. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed.

Also known as JPMorgan Chase Tower and formerly the Union Carbide Building.[314][315] Demolition of the current building started in 2019, making it the tallest building in the world to be voluntarily demolished. A newer building will be built on the site, it will be 716 ft (218 m) taller than the demolished building, and will be completed in 2024.[316]

This lists buildings that once held the title of tallest building in New York City. Both Trinity Church and the Empire State Building have held the title twice, the latter following the destruction of the World Trade Center in the September 11 attacks. The Empire State Building was surpassed by One World Trade Center in 2012.

Vous êtes nombreux à me demander quel est le meilleur quartier pour loger à New York...
Je pourrais vous dire quels sont mes quartiers préférés, à titre personnel, mais dans l'absolu il n'y a pas de "meilleur quartier" : cela dépend vraiment de vos envies et de votre budget (les deux n'étant pas toujours compatibles 😉 ).
Préférez-vous loger dans un quartier touristique et animé, un quartier excentré et calme, un quartier jeune et branché, un quartier avec une identité locale forte, un quartier où les prix sont bon marché ?
Car chaque quartier a ses avantages et ses inconvénients, et c'est bien là le problème : vous allez devoir faire des choix ! 🙂

Faut-il se loger à New York différemment si on se rend à New York pour la première fois ou non ??

Je serais tenté de dire que pour un premier voyage à New York, le quartier touristique de "Times Square" est tout désigné, pour peu que votre budget suive, évidemment.
En revanche, s'il ne s'agit pas de votre premier séjour dans la Grosse Pomme, vous chercherez peut-être un quartier plus authentique et plus tranquille, qui ne soit pas envahi par des hordes de touristes et où vous serez plus à même d'apprécier la "vie locale".

Cela dit, il n'y a pas de règle, cela dépend vraiment de vos envies et de votre façon d'appréhender le voyage. Certains aiment retourner toujours au même endroit, ça les rassure, ils y ont leurs habitudes, ils s'imaginent qu'il n'y a pas de meilleur endroit 😛 , d'autres préfèrent varier les plaisirs et multiplier les expériences...

Trouve-t-on des logements pas chers à New York ?

Je préfère être franc, s'il est facile de manger à moindres frais à New York, il est tout sauf évident de trouver un logement bon marché sans faire quelques concessions (confort, prestations, éloignement...).
Au moment de faire un choix, le budget entre en ligne de compte, c'est inévitable, et nous cherchons tous la perle rare, c'est à dire un bon plan pas cher dans le quartier qui nous fait les yeux doux ! 🙂
Il y a une règle intangible : plus un logement est éloigné du centre et moins il a d'étoiles (s'il s'agit d'un hôtel), plus son tarif est intéressant.
Ainsi, à prestations égales, un logement à Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens ou au New Jersey sera toujours moins cher qu'un logement à Manhattan.
Donc, encore une fois, à vous de voir les concessions que vous êtes prêts à faire : si vous privilégiez le confort et la proximité et que votre budget vous le permet, optez pour un logement dans le centre ; si votre budget est limité et que l'idée de faire quelques dizaines de minutes de transport pour rejoindre le centre ne vous fait pas peur, cherchez un logement en périphérie (Brooklyn, New Jersey etc.). Bien sûr, entre ces deux extrêmes il existe toutes sortes de logements plus ou moins bon marché, à vous d'ajuster le curseur pour trouver le meilleur compromis.

Une cartographie des quartiers selon 7 critères :

J'ai attribué à chaque quartier de New York des étoiles en fonction de son côté touristique, ses magasins, ses lieux pour sortir et se divertir (bars, restos, bowlings, nightclubs...), son calme, son côté autochtone, son offre de logement (hôtels, appartements, auberges...) et les tarifs associés.

Pour commodité, voici la carte des quartiers qui sont repris dans le tableau comparatif plus bas :

Conclusion :

J'espère que ce tableau et ces explications vous aideront à décider plus facilement dans quel(s) quartier(s) de New York il faut que vous effectuiez vos recherches d'hôtels ou d'appartements.
Bons préparatifs à tous !
