Times Square at night. The Knickerbocker had several incarnations:

The hotel was converted to offices in 1920 and was known as The Knickerbocker Building. It was the home of Newsweek magazine (1940–59) and became the Newsweek Building. After major renovations in 1980 it became known as 1466 Broadway and was used for many years as garment showrooms and offices. ] During this period it was later known as 6 Times Square. It was converted back to use as a hotel in 2013–15 under its original name.

About the other building, I couldn't care less.
