Morning View - New Yorker Hotel

On 8th Avenue near Herald Square, the 43-story New Yorker Hotel opened in 1929 with 2500 rooms and a private tunnel that brought guests in directly from Penn Station. Today it's a Ramada owned by the Unification Church (Moonies!) and is just about finished with a major remodeling. Dr. Jeff and I grabbed this photo late on Tuesday afternoon when the sun broke through the clouds for about 30 seconds.
