Morning View - One East River

The 50-story One East River on E.72nd Street is one of the city's oddball flock of "super-luxury" rentals, built for folks that don't mind dropping around $40k-$80K a year to rent an apartment. It's a soul-free glass box, more like an office building than a home, but I do rather like the funky slatted window vents that actually open. On nice days, One East River looks like a snake shedding its skin. Still, I would never live in a high-rise without balconies for enjoying the view. In NYC, isn't that the point?
