Rocking around the Rockefeller

The Rockefeller complex is an amazing area to visit. Once you’ve wondered around appreciating the artwork and independent shops on offer, you find the little office that grants you access to the roof, or Top of the Rock as it’s known. Armed with your tickets, you’ve then got to search for the right elevator as it’s not very well signed. But once you’re in, there’s an interesting presentation of the building’s construction and you get to pose on a piece of scaffolding high above the city as well. This is one of the best places to view the city; especially if you want views of the Empire State Building as well. When you step out from behind the glass, the wind really hits you. But equally impressive is the ground plaza where there’s an impressive fountain and gardens, and if you’re lucky enough there’s the iconic ice rink too. Failing that, the Lego shop is open all year round!
