Time Warner Building
Last week we did a post about Amelia Earhart and I thought where would she live if she were alive today? After a couple of days it came to me; the Time Warner building at Columbus Circle, of course. Amelia was a modern girl, who liked wide open spaces. Where else in New York can you get the big sky sensation that this building delivers.
The towers opened to mixed reviews. Ada Louise Huxtable of the Wall Street Journal described it as soaring, shining and glamorous. Whereas Nicolai Ouroussoff of the LA Times called it a vertical shopping mall and likened it to an airport terminal in a foreign country; wow harsh! Both of these statements have some truth to them, but for me the good far out weighs the bad.
It is definitely a glamorous New York destination. Drinks at the Lobby Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental. Dinner at Per Se or sushi at Masa. How about Jazz at Lincoln Center? One of our holiday traditions is the Red Hot Holiday Stomp at the Rose Theater.
But what I really like about The Time Warner building is how modern it is, not just an updated copy of traditional pre war architecture. I think New York could do with more buildings that look to the future with the same optimism.
Interior images of Tom Brady’s apartment really illustrates the drama of this great New York City landmark.
