Speaking of Vornado, much is made in the media of the wrecking ball that would be required to build the new towers. They talk of demolishing the "neighborhood". But that couldn't be further from the truth. Vornado's sites, are for the most part, placeholders awaiting development. You can see site 4 above (NY has just lost a Duane Reade. How will it ever survive with just the 1,000s more located in midtown). There really isn't much on the other Vornado owned sites to miss either.


Took a few shots a little earlier of

Site 6











Site 5


















Of course, there's the Hotel Penn...

Site 7






And finally, there is Site 8, which is the Manhattan Mall, a building that may not be demolished at all.
