Fodor's Review:

If Times Square is New York's crossroads, Rockefeller Center is its communal gathering place, where the entire world converges to snap pictures, skate on the ice rink, peek in on a taping of the Todayshow at NBC Studios, shop, eat, and take in the monumental art deco structures and public sculptures from the past century. Totaling 49 shops, 28 restaurants (1.4 million square feet in all), the complex runs from 47th to 52nd streets between 5th and 7th avenues. Special events and huge pieces of art dominate the central plazas in summer, and in December an enormous twinkling tree towers above (visit www.rockefellercenter.comfor a schedule).

This is one of New York's nicest outdoor areas, with a charming skating rink, some iconic sculpture ("Prometheus" and "Atlas" are the most notable), and several noteworthy buildings including Radio City Music Hall and the GE Building, the latter of which has a nice view. Well worth a visit.
