Description
Landmarks of New York City (Manhattan and Queens)
Welcome to New York, probably the most impressive city in the world. After commemorating the sad events of September 11, 2001, I intended to build this scenario of landmarks for myself, but then decided to share it with the community.
For the sheer number of buildings that exist in this fabulous city, I’ve only included 25 iconic buildings in this collection of landmarks. I know I am missing too many, but I just wanted to pay tribute to this city and its people and the United States in general, for its strength in those difficult times twenty years ago.
I include some sporting landmarks in Queens and also the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. You’ll find the two main tennis stadiums at the Billy Jean King USTA Complex in Flushing, Queens, the Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums, both just before they were retrofitted with retractable roofs a few years ago. It is the site of the US Open, the fourth of the four major tennis tournaments in the world, which was held recently from August 30 to September 12.

Please take a look at the ReadMe file included in the download, as it contains further information regarding Credits, Installation Instructions, Dependencies and other useful recommendations.
And… last but not least, it is highly recommended to install these other landmarks for the city (my photos are taken with this addon installed), from @VFXSimmer
If someone have access to more building models not included in this package, please share the information with me and I’ll be glad to add them in a next update.
Hope everyone downloads and enjoys wonderful New York City as much as I do.
