I think the picture towards the bottom right of the page should be removed. I do not believe that the Palace hotel is actually in the photo. It appears the large black structure is the Olympic tower and the photo was taken on 5th avenue while the Palace Hotel is on Madison Ave.
P.S. I apologize for how this was formatted, I am not familiar with editing 'Talk' pages.
