Sigourney Weaver's apartment building was on Central Park West. I distinctly remember the marshmallow man walking by 2 Columbus Circle.

No answer to my request for a rending or thread on that building?

Its a model in the movie. But its almost exactly modeled on a building in the Upper West Side. I forget the name, but do a little research and you should be able to find it.

^Ouch.

BTW, don't they call those multiple setback buildings "wedding cake" buildings? Weren't they the result of a NY zoning code that was eventually rewritten in the 50's?

Apologies for the late reply. I should check my threads more often.

That is 17 State Street.

HKskyline, LOVE those pics!! I especially like the one looking across the river, with that funky globe scupture in the foreground. I would love to cut'n'paste one of my skyscraper character drawings into that, it would make a wicked background.

I also love the picture of Empire State framed by that pretty piece of art feco ironwork. Very lovely.

Don't recognize this building.

Does anyone know where this is?

I'm puzzled, but I suspect that it's outside Manhattan.
