RECEPTION • Upon entering the building, you will first see the reception counter. Guests are required to state their businesses here and, once approved, would be given a security pass to pass the security barriers on the left of the counter. To the right are two sofas and a plasma television.

ELEVATORS • After getting through the security barriers with your pass, press the button for the elevator to take you up the building. There are four elevators in the lobby, as well as a stairway located at the other side of the elevators. In the elevators are mirrors on the back and on the doors, along with cheesy elevator music.

STUDIO • More like a small area at the back of the new york tribune newsroom where a few lights are set up in front of a solid cloth background. Very seldom used because nobody takes studio photographs anymore.

PANTRY • Near the back of the newsroom is a pantry stocked weekly with biscuits, bread and junk food. Not to mention a noisy coffee maker that serves not too good coffee. Someone should buy a cappuccino machine.

CAFETERIA • Located on the second floor, the cafeteria doesn't serve much delicious food, but it's cheap and convenient. Not that many of them actually eat here, since you can just walk across the street to grab a bite from subway.

PARKING LOTS • Okay so in this place, not many of them have cars. Who would want to be stuck in crazy traffic when you can just take the subway; but of course, the higher ups of the building got to show off their Porche and Ferrari.
