Okay, so yesterday I decided to check out 781 5th Ave in person. I’d heard about it, seen pictures, the whole deal, but I wanted to experience it myself.
First, I looked up the address – obviously. It’s right there on 5th Avenue, super easy to find, basically across from the southeast corner of Central Park. I hopped on the subway, because driving in that area is a nightmare, trust me.
Getting There
I got off the train and walked a few blocks. It’s a pretty swanky area, you know, lots of high-end stores and fancy people walking around. I definitely felt a little underdressed in my jeans and t-shirt, but whatever.
The Building Exterior
When I finally got to the building, my first thought was, “Wow, it’s…tall.” I mean, I knew it was a tall building, but seeing it in person is different. It just towers over everything. The outside is all glass and steel, pretty modern-looking. There were these huge windows, and I could see some of the apartments inside. I tried to imagine what it must be like to live there. Must be amazing view.
- Stared up at the building for a good five minutes.
- Tried to look nonchalant, like I belonged there. (Failed.)
- Wonderd is any celeb live there.
Just Walking Around
I couldn’t actually go inside, of course. I’m not a millionaire, so I don’t have an appointment to view a multi-million dollar apartment. But I walked around the block a few times, just taking it all in. There’s a fancy restaurant on the ground floor, and I saw some people going in and out. Seemed like a pretty exclusive place.
I even sat on a bench across the street for a while, just people-watching. Lots of fancy cars pulling up, people in suits, that kind of thing. It’s a whole different world over there. It’s a bit intimidating but I still enjoyed a lot.
My Final Thoughts
So yeah, that was my little adventure to 781 5th Ave. It was cool to see it in person, even if I could only experience it from the outside. It’s definitely a symbol of wealth and luxury, that’s for sure. Someday, maybe I’ll win the lottery and get to see the inside. Until then, I’ll just keep dreaming.
