Morning View – The Ritz Tower

If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where fashion sits? Built in 1925, the 41-story Ritz Tower was designed by famed Gotham architect Emory Roth as the city’s first high-rise residential building and for a time it was the world’s tallest. As an “apartment hotel” the units originally had no kitchens; food was delivered via electrically heated dumbwaiters and was served by hotel staff.
