The exterior of Hook & Ladder 8 was also used in a 1995 Seinfeld episode titled "The Secret Code." I recognized it because I just watched that episode the other day.

Ghostbusters Headquarters This is an easy drive-by attraction. We stopped for pictures and were there for 2 minutes. It was a minimal detour on the route to where we were headed, but totally worth it.
