New York Magazine names new TKTS Booth "Building of the Decade"
"Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats; the show has already begun. Fire up your cell phones and let someone know where you are: on a set of glowing glass bleachers, with a front-and-center view of Times Square.

At once humble and flashy, it distills the theatrical urge that electrified architecture in the last decade."Read Full Article >>
