| Last night, we snapped Manhattan borough prez Scott Stringer and Monday Properties CEO Anthony Westreich pressing the big red button that turned the landmarked 230 Park Ave into NYC’s newest lighted attraction.

Also in attendance: NYC Landmarks Commission chair Robert Tierney and Grand Central Partnership CEO Fred Cerullo. |
