New York - Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center is a vast entertainment and shopping complex in the middle of Manhattan, and home to NBC-TV and radio and other media. There is also a skating rink, shops, restaurants (notably the 1930-ish Rainbow Room atop the GE Building), and the statue, Atlas, in front of the International Building.

The Art Deco design was headed by architect Raymond Hood. There are works by 30 artists to be found in and around the complex.

The centerpiece is the 70-storey RCA Building, a slender, towering structure that offers views of midtown Manhattan. The original group of buildings is organized along a T-shaped plaza on three city blocks between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
