Rockefeller Center is a defining location for New York City. Located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, it is the home of some of the most memorable sights of New York City: the famous Ice Skating Rink, the Atlas Statue, Radio City Music Hall, the Christmas Tree (and the Lighting of the Tree ceremony in late November), plus many stores and places to eat on the concourse level. There is plenty to explore and do at Rockefeller Center, and if you get bored of the sights, 5th Avenue and Saks is just a few blocks East.

General Directions:

Stretches from 47th to 50th Streets and 7th to 8th Avenue, “The Rock” is just a short walk from Times Square and the shops along Fifth Ave.

Tips:

Not all of Rockefeller Center is above ground. Below the surface, the “Concourse” connects the entire center and its buildings. The Concourse also houses many shops, restaurants, and entrances to the subway. The observation deck at Rockefeller Center just opened up as well. It offers one of the most pleasing panoramic views of the New York City skyline. It’s also cheaper than the Empire State Building’s deck.
