2 cents regarding Montessori International of NY:

The education received at this institution is incredible. While I have no opinion regarding the case of Ms. Sinha, I feel it will have some unfortunate consequences for the school and for a truly wonderful set of teachers that I have come to know & respect.

My daughter has been attending one of the branches of this school for nearly 3 years now. She has grown tremendously in her education, curiosity, eagerness to learn and responsibility. She and her classmates are wonderful, friendly and engaging children.

I recommend this school to any parent looking for a quality educational environment for their children.

A 90 floor hotel will be great for Javits center conventions and less traveling for exhibitors - and vistors.

That area will boom with new shops, restaurants, boutiques etc.

The majestic view of the city from the top floor of the hotel would be awesome

On the other hand, the far West Side is relatively serene, sparsely populated and less expensive - which are a rarities in midtown Manhattan.

That ambience will be lost forever
