Looks nice.  Wonder how tall it is...

[JerseyBoy]

It's 52 floors (1,046 feet), I believe.

[Lowerdeck]

I thought it was over 1000 feet, but wasn't entirely sure.

But only 52 floors... that's odd.  An average of 20 feet per floor?

[JerseyBoy]

You can't tell in the photos, but there is a spire at the top that the 1000 foot figure includes.

You are indeed correct.

Still, gets another 1k in New York and that's nice to have.

I took this about 3 weeks ago.....looking East at sunset as I exited the Lincoln Tunnel.



I think it looks much better at night than during the day.
