Yes, and we need more towers like this to bring the "romance" back to the midtown skyline. I think 30 Hudson and 1 Vanderbilt will fit in too, despite bulk.

That could be said of 111, viewed from the park. But it's the overall beauty of both towers that make them special. (and i dont think verre is that bad from any angle, just much better east to west).
