1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York City

1290 Avenue of the Americas, alternatively known as the AXA Financial Center or the Sperry-Rand Building, is a 44-floor international-style skyscraper, designed and built in 1963 by Emery Roth & Sons and Harrison & Abramovitz. It was built on the site of the legendary Toots Shor's Restaurant, which opened here in 1940, a hangout for athletes, sportswriters and assorted famous people.

On Seinfeld, George Constanza claims that the 14th floor of this building has the best restroom in the vicinity of 54th and Sixth.
