Rockefeller Center
Atlas statue's home
Rockefeller Center is a complex of commercial buildings in midtown Manhattan, developed by the Rockefeller family in the 1930s.
It includes Radio City Music Hall, the NBC studios, and a famous plaza featuring an ice skating rink and annual Christmas tree.
The name evokes New York glamour and American capitalism: We watched the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.
