For a memorable dose of Art Deco design in all its glory, immerse yourself in the 1930s Rockefeller Center. A complex of 19 buildings and gardens, the Rockefeller Center is where you'll find the famous ice rink and Christmas tree, Radio City Music Hall, the NBC Studios, and the Top of the Rock observation deck atop the soaring Art Deco GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. (Fans of the television show '30 Rock' will also recognize this as the TGS studio offices.)
For shopping and dining there are more than 100 stores, 40 eateries, and an underground shopping concourse.
Go behind the scenes on an NBC Studios tour, stopping off to have your photo taken at the news desk or give an impromptu weather report. Rockefeller Center tours highlight the rich assortment of Art Deco statues, sculptures, and murals on display, including the famous gilt statue of Prometheus in the Lower Plaza and Atlas on Fifth Avenue.

Doing what: Top of the Rock Observation Deck, New York
What a lovely way to start our holiday, the staff were so friendly and polite, the were chatty and informative. The views from the top of the rock evening on a rainy wet April evening were amazing. really worth it.

Doing what: New York City Explorer Pass
If you're in NY for a short time (1-4 days) and have a good idea of the activities you would like to do, this pass is great. If you are spending 4 or more days in NY and able to do lots of things, possibly the New York Pass would be a better option.We used our pass for Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium, Night Tour by Citysights and Top of the Rock. Night Tour by Citysights was HORRIBLE in cold weather. Ripley's was very cool. Top of the Rock offered great photo opportunity of the Empire State Building and, best of all, we skipped the line!

Doing what: Top of the Rock Observation Deck, New York
Top of the Rock Observation Deck just "topped" off our visit to NYC following the Statue of Liberty Express Cruise also booked through Viator. Great overview of NYC from Lower Manhattan to Central Park.
