The reason this apartment was THE ONE is mostly because of the view! From my living room I can watch river traffic on the East River, plus there is a tiny island right in the middle where long-winged white birds make nests in the one tiny tree. Also, the historic Tutors apartment complex with its concrete statues of horned creatures and winged lions contrasts with the United Nations building directly behind it. Does anyone know the name of those creatures, by chance?
