Polled in 1987, this building has the distinction of being the structure the majority of New Yorkers wanted demolished in their hometown. It is overbearing, with unpleasing planes and bared concrete, taking the worst pages from the often interesting Bauhaus School of Design and massing them into what was once the largest commercial office building in the world. As such, it blocks THREE NYC jewels: Grand Central Terminal, The Helmsley Building, and the sweeping view of Park Avenue. And I have to walk around the entire thing just to get home sometimes. Ergh!
