Located directly across from Carnegie Hall at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue, this classic Cass Gilbert structure has been restored inside and out at a cost of over $2 million. The renovation features a painstaking restoration of the magnificent vaulted lobby ceiling, enhanced by the use of travertine and wall-sized mirrors; fully refurbished corridors with bronze reflective ceilings, solid oak doors and custom signage; a full mechanical systems overhaul; new travertine facade at street level with ornamental bronze grills; signature pavements; new storefronts; a new subway entrance; and new plantings.The street address speaks for itself--the building is within a short walking distance of Rockefeller Center and the midtown office district, Central Park, Lincoln Center and a wealth of other cultural institutions. 57th Street and environs are lined with New York's most exclusive shops and department stores. The area is also famous for its fine restaurants,Trattoria Dell Arte, Giovauni Ristorant, Russian Tea Room, Basso 56,BLT Market & Brasserie 81/2, and great hotels, like the Plaza, Parker Meridien, Peninsula Hotel, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and Hotel Pierre.The BMT subway station is S/W/C of Seventh Avenue
