Rockefeller Center, NYC
Striking Art Deco office building complex consisting of 19 buildings and scores of upscale shops and restaurants connected by underground corridors. Tours of the NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall are recommended, as are a stroll through the Channel Gardens. In the winter months, strap on your skates for a spin around the world's most famous ice skating rink. Go at off-peak times, since the rink can get VERY crowded. Rockefeller Center is busiest during the winter holidays, when crowds flock to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall and then to skate and admire THE Christmas tree. But we recommend a visit at other times of the year, too, since there is always plenty to do and see. I also recommend chartering a coach bus or a smaller mini bus so you dont have to worry about parking.
The Top of the Rock observation deck -- recently reopened after a 20-year closure -- offers magnificent New York City views (including the nearby spires of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building). Go during the day to see the splendor of the city unfold beneath you, or better yet, go at night and see the city sparkle. In nice weather, the Channel Gardens (so called because they lie in the space between La Maison Francaise and the British Empire Building) are a nice place to relax for a few moments. Join the office workers catching a few rays of sun on the benches throughout the gardens and watch the throngs of tourists and shoppers scurrying by. The area is always attractively planted -- even in the midst of winter you will find something pretty in the gardens here.
