This building is a masterpiece, but the area leaves something to be desired. On the Fifth Ave side, it’s beautiful, but on the Sixth Ave side of 53rd, There are halal fast food carts and garbage on the sidewalk! It’s neither Belgravia, nor the Avenue Foche!

They are there 365 days too. Around lunchtime, the lines are long. The chicken kebab with the white sauce is the best and some rice. A classic and cheap too!

It’s great. I used to go there when I lived in the area, but by the evening, there’s garbage on the sidewalk from them.

That view will become exponentially more modern once this is completed. Sharp, slanted lines like that really deviate from traditional NYC architecture… it’s beautiful.
