Visiting on a Sunday the students and I (a professor at Brooklyn College teaching Peopling of New York City) had a chance to see the Atrium in action. It is a really impressive privately owned public space where people can mingle or just relax and read a book. Unfortunately the cafeteria was closed on Sunday. I noticed the high prices for breakfast (around $9) and lunch (sandwiches and salads starting at $14). This makes it less accessible to a wide public. It would be nice to see less expensive offerings and some more innovative use of the space as a place for exhibitions perhaps using this wonderful screen in more creative ways.
