Some of our men of Bonhoeffer live at the HT in Herald Square. It's an awesome building, with a great view of the ESB from the roof deck. Gym inside as well!
Notice the Empire State Building is missing where it should be in top left corner of the pict. It had not yet been built! Also notice the elevatedtrain at bottom right!!
Jackie Robinson was living in room 1169 of this building (Hotel McAlpin) on April 10, 1947, when he was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first ever black man in Major League Baseball.
This building was originally built in 1912, named Hotel McAlpin. In the late 1970s, it was converted to rental apartments. 2012 was its 100th anniversary of construction.

literally had to wait for my friend (tenant) in their sofa-less lobby bc they wouldn’t let me give them a room #, name, and ID to get in. rudest doormen ever. not responsible, just rigid and rude.
