Park Avenue Plaza — Attraction in New York

We attended a job-fair related meeting in the building's public space located in the lobby atrium. This atrium is very modern, imposing, and impressive. It is extremely clean, neat, and HUGE.

The building use the middle walkway as a kind of a picture museum of New York City (it's kinda interesting). There's a few (pricey) clothing stores.
