This was the first building I worked in when I moved to New York City as a lawyer. Back then it was the home of both my first law firm (Thelen, Reid & Priest) and the Howard Stern show. Celebrity guests made for some interesting mornings attempting to get to work – although I do have the experience of literally walking into Ringo Starr in the lobby when he was a surprise guest. As in, not watching where I was going because I was digging around my purse for my building ID, and crashing into him. Only realizing once I looked up to apologize that he was, you know…a Beatle.

In any event, Thelen eventually moved out, I moved on to another firm, and I only pass by when on my way to other things.
