This building has often been described as one of the best (if not the best) to be built in New York in decades, and I have to agree with that. It's just fantastic. People who aren't even into skyscrapers instinctively know it's special.
As much as I love this building, watching the program on PBS (Treasures of NY) about the tower made me love it even more. I don't know when it will be available nationally, but check it out.
