When the HY first opened, there were people who said it didn’t look or feel like NY, or the rest of Midtown. But as the canyons are filled in with new towers, the streetlife activated like the rest if Midtown, that perception will begin to fade. It already has. But the old, gritty west side is disappearing as well. Hard to believe there was a drive-thru McDonald’s on site.
