One of New York City’s most recognized skyscrapers<\/a>, Rockefeller Center is the symbol of midtown Manhattan and easily one of the best and most widely popular attractions in New York City.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A complex of 19 buildings and plazas, located between Fifth and Seventh Avenues and 48th and 51st Streets, Rockefeller Center was built to be a \u201ccity within a city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its construction, it has proved to be exactly that. It\u2019s home to corporate headquarters, offices, television studios, theaters, shops, and restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is, of course, essential to mention that the Art Deco design, both architectural and decorative, of the original buildings is some of the world\u2019s finest, and you\u2019ll want to look attentively to enjoy and unravel all its references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
