How does Scotty describe Bennie's office in the novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad?

Scotty says, "Bennie's office was awesome, and I don't mean that in the male teenage skateboarding sense - I mean it in the old-fashioned literal sense. The desk was a giant jet black oval with a wet-looking surface like the most expensive pianos have. It reminded me of a black ice-skating rink. Behind the desk was nothing but view—the whole city flung out in front of us the way street vendors fling out their towels packed with cheap, glittery watches and belts. That's how New York looked: like a gorgeous, easy thing to have, even for me." (Chap. 7, p. 84).
