These spherical lights illuminate a long and storied history at the Park Central Hotel. Opening in 1927, it weathered the Great Depression and has been a fixture in Midtown Manhattan through several ownership groups, name changes and renovations. It has been home to a First Lady (Eleanor Roosevelt), famous comedians (Jackie Gleason), the NFL Draft, and even a couple mob hits including Arnold Rothstein, the guy who fixed the 1919 World Series.
