At one time the Hotel Pennsylvania may have been worthy of saving and dramatic renovation and repurposing, but that ship has sailed. Most important thing though is to replace a once grand building with one worthy of being a focal point of the 21 st century New York City skyline. The current incarnation is most definitively NOT it. But in the end, it's Vornado's call... good thing they have a lot of time to reconsider this brutalist/modernist debacle.
