There is an outdoor skating rink which is incredibly popular in winter. At Christmas a huge tree stands out front. Inside are shops, restaurants (notably the 1930-ish Rainbow Room atop the GE Building), and an observation deck. In front of the International Building is a famous sculpture of Atlas.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.
