  • Free admission to the observation deck at the 10th floor; great view. The restaurant has the most delicious soup (chicken dumplings) that I've samples in three years of living in the US.
  • One beautiful building. The exterior is exquisite. The lobby of this building is one of the most spectacular i've seen, with marble columns, a huge blue-green stained glass skylight, gold leaf, statues, and huge chandeliers. Even the carpet is extraordinary. The rooftop cafe has a glass ceiling which can be opened to the sky. A family of bald eagles nests on one side.
