What The New Yorker, A Wyndham Hotel actually is
The New Yorker's 43-storey Art Deco tower opened in 1930 as one of the largest hotels in the world, and its red neon sign is a Midtown landmark. Nikola Tesla lived in room 3327 for the last ten years of his life, and there is a small commemorative plaque on the floor.
Rooms are compact and functional, and the position directly opposite Penn Station and Madison Square Garden makes it a practical choice for rail arrivals and event nights. Tick Tock Diner on the corner has been running since the 1940s.
