Recreated from a remote memory
When I was about 13 years old (early 80’s) I was with my family celebrating some milestone at the Rainbow Room (expensive venue at the top of Rockefeller Plaza in NYC). The restrooms were in the hallway of elevator banks just outside the entrance to it. When I came out of the bathroom, this is what I saw. Apparently, a homeless man had made his way to the elevators and was standing at the entrance, being denied entry by the maître d’ and a young man wearing an art deco outfit out of the 1930’s (AI made him look more like a bellhop). The dichotomy between the richest and poorest members of society was striking. I have always wished that I had a camera to capture a photo of that. This comes fairly close.
Edit: Just realized the elevators indicate the 65th floor. That is the correct floor it’s on but I did not include that in my prompt.
