This is actually my favorite tower in NYC. It has a cool mid-century modern/Mad Men feel too it that I love. I think its old enough that it is again cool.

Anyway, I would love to see them give it a good solid refurbish like they have to the UN tower (maybe not that extreme). New modern windows that are more energy efficient and translucent. Clean the stone facade a bit (make it a little more whiter/cleaner looking), de-clutter the top, maybe a brushed aluminum strip around the very top? Also redo/reclad the base. A skilled architect could pull it off and give a nice update. Thoughts?
