• – I prefer ALT1 as I think it is the most interesting hook. My NYT subscription has just expired unfortunately, but I accept the offline source in good faith. The article itself is new, well sourced, and long enough. The accompanying image is the editor's own, and appears to be within the size and article usage guidelines. I believe this hook is good to go. Carbrera (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC).

• Epicgenius, your source shows the quote as "Grand Canyon of midtown business", not "Grand Canyon of American business". Can you please fix that (both in the article and the hook) and ping me when you've done so? Thanks! MeegsC (talk) 11:02, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

• @MeegsC: Sure. I've fixed that. Epicgenius (talk) 16:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
