then "monoliths of the north" they are . .
good call NYguy . . |
Or how about the Central Park Sentinels?
That has a nice ring to it. |
"Giants of Central Park" - Shwayze . . (big beanstalk humanoid-ish) . .
"monoliths of the north" - NYguy . . (mystic talesman-like volumes) . . "Central Park Sentinels" - citiGuy . . (soldiers guarding) . . . . all good . . what 'bout "Central Park Citadels" . . or "Citadels of the North" . . (lofty strongholds) . . actually I think "Monoliths of the North" . . may conjure up a more impressive range . . of curious bewilderment . . slightly ominous . . in the strange realm of the imagination . . |
I think the USSR tower.
The United Super Socialite Rich Tower. Where the USSR commitee watched the poor proletariat below, while sipping some imported bourgeoisie wine and exclaiming "Capital Gains" in a hypo manic voice. Legend saids that they launch paper airplanes to 432 Park, with secret codes written on them under the guise of a chess game. Each move brings them closer to a checkmate, where they will conquer all of NYC with monolithic towers. They also talk shit about One57, for the poor investment. If only they had waited a few years. |
A decade from now, when these monolithic towers hugging the south end of Central Park are complete, this will easily be my favorite view of New York City's skyline.

I'm not sure how super rich most of this tower will be though. Is it all billionaire class? I don't think so. One thing for certain though, it will need a name that rolls off the tongue. Steinway is fine, but this one should have been called "the Spire" instead of Tishman's building. It looks more the part. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/162741745/original.jpg |
It has this eerie, noir-ish Chrysler Building vibe to it in that picture.

For the lucky few who will live in this tower, man, what a privilege to live in such a work of art. This tower, along with 30 Hudson IMO are the best towers to come out of this boom cycle. |
^ They will be living in a true landmark. This tower will be among the more memorable icons of the city, both new and old.

Adding to that, I like this post by Hunser!
This thing literally doubled in height! "May 3, 2012, 7:01 PM hunser's Avatar hunser hunser is offline Steinway to Heaven |¦┆┊ ^^ Good to know, another 700 footer for NY. I lost count already. " |

We now have 700 feet + rising in DoBro and LIC, and mutiple towers. Hell, we have a JDS tower thats 1,000 feet + in DoBro and a 900 footer in Jersey City. Unthinkable 5 years ago. :cheers: |

For the Central Park NIMBY's, "The Shadows of Mordor" is more appropriate. Because for them, 57th Street is where sun meets darkness. Casting a shadow over their precious green land from citadels of power. Evil meets good.
Luckily for us, evil is winning! |
Whatever name they may be colloquially called, what is important is the progress.
