The 37-story Daily News Building, a standout on the Manhattan skyline, served as the headquarters for the New York Daily News until 1995 and famously appeared as the Daily Planet in the 1978 Superman movie. Designed in the art deco style, it is one of New York City’s finest architectural icons. The building’s most notable feature is its giant, rotating vintage globe, thought to be the world’s largest, which sits beneath a black glass dome in the lobby. Today, visitors can admire the grandeur of the art deco design and marvel at the impressive globe, experiencing a piece of both architectural and cinematic history.
