One of the main landmarks in midtown Manhattan is Rockefeller Center with many famous buildings around it. First off we saw Radio City Music Hall on 6th Avenue, also known as Avenue of the Americas:
On the other side of 6th Avenue there are lots of office buildings, all linked underground here to Rockefeller Center and the subway. This shot is of three very similar buildings just opposite Rockefeller Center proper. The middle building is the McGraw-Hill Building.
We walked crosstown towards 5th Avenue and ended up in the heart of Rockefeller Center, where they were just putting in the skating rink for the winter season. In summer the area is used as outdoor seating for the cafes and restaurants that live underneath Rockefeller Center.
They had all the flags of the world there, including Singapore!!!! Yay!!!
Over on 5th Avenue in between the Cole Haan and the Kenneth Cole stores is the famous statue of Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders:
The other side of 5th Avenue has the giant Saks Fifth Avenue department store, and next to it is St. Patrick's Cathedral:
