Please pardon me for using your space: Decorated.
I’m sorry but NYC sucks… I used to like it but its being overbuilt to a point of being unlivable and devoid of any sense of taste, character and sense of place.
That they are tearing down these attractive buildings for a tower that may not even get built, given that this economic boil is coming to a head. That said, you are correct….The “great new towers” are now beginning to tire the eyes with glass, glass , glass. I love the new skinny super talls on W.57. They at least have nice texture and unusual height. 53 W. 53 stands out above them all in design.
