5. Unnamed Factory at 43-10 23rd Street

For decades, this seven floor unnamed factory building, located at 43-10 23rd Street, was the tallest structure along the 7 train. Over the years it has been home to a variety of small workshops and businesses. In the 1970s a portion of the building was home to the Hashizume food corp – one of the earliest makers of tofu in the United States.

The height of this building, combined with a massive balcony space all along the top floor of the building (a result of this floor being added after the building was completed), makes it an ideal viewing platform for the length of the 7 line elevated along 23rd street. Neighboring buildings have been used for filming scenes in Jessica Jones and Daredevil. Additionally, scenes from Luke Cage were also filmed under the 7 line tracks.
