It looks like she’s starting to lose her crown, as far as I can tell.

Indeed she is. And you can see them taking bites out of her, and it coming down in little dumpsters.

I hope to return to NYC later this year, I wonder if I could bribe anyone on site for a small piece of metal?

I got the same exact picture as you, haha. I toured the East Side Access project and the demolition and eventual construction of the new tower will keep that section of the concourse from opening with the rest of the terminal. The tower’s foundation is already in the plans so I’m sure the design is finished. Just waiting on official renderings

I live here in the city, I’ll swing by tomorrow and poke around and ask, if they say yes, I’ll be happy to grab you a piece!

its still crazy to me that its being demo’d when there’s still so many other low rise buildings in the city, especially across the river

Just to show how much poor 270 Park is missing, here’s a pic of 270 and 277 from one of my previous visits:

Looks like so far they’ve demolished the roof and parapet
