57th St Between 11th Ave and 10th Ave

Walking down this rather barren strip, the landscape is dominated by two 3-letter brands: CBS and BMW. With a rather unique-looking, pyramid-like showroom, the BMW of Manhattan dealership is hard to miss. Perhaps a bit more understated (though not by much, considering the building-sized posters) is the CBS Broadcast Center across the street. Taking up nearly a full city block, the CBS Broadcast Center is home to much of the network's main news operations- including the studios for the CBS Evening News and CBS Sunday Morning.

Besides that it's hard to notice anything else here. Several apartment and office buildings line the block, but few are very notable. As I understand it, the CBS news film archives live across the street from the Broadcast Center, comprising every piece of footage the organization has at their disposal. But obviously that isn't notable from the sidewalk.
