Sometimes I think about how much fun it would be to walk around Manhattan for a day in 1949 with a couple hundred dollars in your pocket.

Collection by Miss Mackensen
The building you highlighted is the Madison Square Building at Madison Square Park.
This is the future site of the ESB, I recognize some sort of canopy over the sidewalk. The aerial view must have been taken in the period when the Waldorf-Astoria is still being demolished or the foundation for the ESB is being excavated.

A small glimpse of private insight into the "Collection by Miss Mackensen
The very interesting book on the history of the city of New York with the epilogue Construction and Fall of the Twin Towers from 2002 began my collection (Christmas gift 2002).
Actually, I only wanted to collect a few postcards and then stop again, but with this postcard which I purchased in 2009, my collection really began.
This postcard with a view of my home town Klingenthal from 1925 is my first postcard in my collection. I got it at a flea market in my area it took place in 2004.
My Klingenthal is still a big part of my collection. 
According to the item description, the hotel is in NY, I still have the invoice (October 2011) about it. So after Chicago, San Francisco and Cleveland I got another city Philadelphia about which I collect old pictures.
My post may be off-topic for some users, but for me, this is why I am interested in the subject of the design, construction and history of skyscrapers in U.S. cities.

Thank you for your kind replies Henry and @Liminal. 
If you already liked these three historical postcards, what do you say when you see my complete collection. One thing I have to say is that old paper sometimes smells a bit harsh.
My oldest card of New York is from around 1865 and the newest one is from 1999.
When I flew to NY in 2016 I copied an old photo, on this shot with a view north of 6th Ave. at the height of 42nd Street, the Time Life Building is under construction in the background. Nowadays the building stands in the row of the other big boxes on 6th Ave.

I think it’s awesome that someone has archives that many pictures about NY! I love sharing my thoughts and pictures with fellow NY enthusiasts! Me personally I’m building a 1:1 replica of Midtown Manhattan in 1969 in Minecraft, I’ve recently made a thread about it so check it out of you want!
