This building is a gem and one of my very favourites in the US. I know it's not a critic's darling the way some skyscrapers are, but for some reason it always caught my eye. It would look good even without them, but it's still the crown and fins that make this building great. The theater (and the views of Times Square from the inside) is spectacular too.

I like One Astor Plaza so much that for a few years during the 00s, an illustration of it it was my Windows XP wallpaper!
