Commissioned by John D. Rockefeller and his illustrious family, the 19-building complex covers 22 acres and is listed as a national historic landmark for its mix of modern and Art Deco styles. During the holiday season, the square is home to the world-famous Christmas tree (look out for its lighting ceremony in late November and early December), ice-skating rink, NBC Studios, the Channel Gardens, and The Concourse, an underground passageway featuring food, shopping and more. Want to get a bird’s eye view of the city? Book your tickets for Top of the Rock’s three-tiered observation deck on the 67th, 69th and 70th floors.
