A Bit of Paris in New York

Beaux-Arts style heavily influenced US architecture around the 1880s to 1920s. It is therefor not surprising to feel a bit like walking in Paris when strolling around in the Upper East (or West) Side and discover some of Manhattan's architectural treasures.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
