A 1920s Hotel Lobby Hidden In An Upper West Side Apartment Building
Some time ago, I was scouting Upper West Side lobbies when I came to the apartment building at 253 W 73rd Street.

What took you to this place?
Ha, the usual – any office in a movie has to have a fantastic view of the city 🙂
hmmm..who’s space is this?
Aw, this was such a quality info. In theory I’d like to write like that too – taking time and serious effort to bring about a very good posting… however what could I say… I procrastinate an awful lot and by no means seem to get things completed…
Judging from the view, that must be the Hunters Point neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens.
