Rockefeller Center
The centerpiece of central Manhattan, covering 22 acres (9 hectares) between Fifth and Sixth avenues, from 47th to 51st streets, is Rockefeller Center. All the buildings in this complex are linked by underground walkways and concourses, which are themselves filled with shops, a post office, and restaurants.
From 5th Avenue you can enter via the Channel Gardens, a sloping walkway divided by fountains and flowerbeds between the British and French buildings, which end at the sunken plaza and its famous gilded statue of Prometheus. This is also where the giant Christmas tree is placed (right behind Prometheus). If you have time, wander around and admire some of the Art Deco details.
