I haven't been inside the MAD... I'm sure it's nice inside. I was referring to the exterior, not the interior. I wasn't crazy about the old iteration of the MAD, but in my subjective opinion what they did to it on the outside was not an improvement. Anyway, I hope 51 Astor Place turns out to be better than it looks in the renders. The pretty lights will make it look interesting at night, but probably not better than Gehry accomplished a couple years ago on the West Side Highway in Chelsea.
