The unfortunate thing for the people who were trying to save the Hotel Pennsylvania is that the last minute grandstanding by the Malkins at the Empire State drowned out everything else. Not that it would have mattered, but the issue was no longer to "save the hotel". Anyway, the City Council meeting is supposed to begin around 1:30, so approval should be final before the afternoon is out. It would be interesting to see exactly what resolution was passed along with the approval from the subcommittee. |
Agreed on that. Perhaps it was for the better, you never know.
I feel good about this one considering the sudden surge in need for office space in the city. Approval and finding a lead tent both seem like no brainers. And this will not greatly affect views from the ESB observation deck. Plus the transit bonus card. I mean, what else can you ask for?
