1345 Avenue of the Americas

A base station atop the building was used on April 3, 1973, by Martin Cooper to make the world's first handheld cellular phone call in public. Cooper, a Motorola inventor, called rival Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs to tell him about the invention. Engel was staying across the street in the Hilton New York. ==In popular culture==

In the film The Dark Knight Rises (2012), 1345 Avenue of the Americas is the building Bruce Wayne falls from in the crane scene. It also serves as the foyer for the fictional law firm in the film Michael Clayton (2007). It is used as the establishing shot for the corporate headquarters of the fictional company, Dunder Mifflin in the television show The Office. The southeast corner housed The Mill, and it offered an eight minute ride on a moving walkway, that took visitors past knitting machines, and looms. The free attraction lasted until 1980. Today, a business took over the site. ==Tenants==
