 As
the name implies, Midtown is smack in the middle of everything.
Nobody is really sure where Midtown begins (most would say
somewhere at the 30-block), but most agree it stops around
Central Park. Publishing houses, financial firms, import/export
companies and fashion houses all do business here. Trump Tower
entices shoppers, along with all those glorious stores along
Fifth Avenue. Ice skaters twirl at Rockefeller Center and
the spectacular St. Patrick's Cathedral offers serenity and
spirituality.
Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings
covering 22 acres between 48th and 51st Streets in New York
City. Built by the Rockefeller family, it is located in the
center of Midtown Manhattan, spanning between 5th Avenue and
Seventh Avenue. It was declared a National Historic Landmark
in 1987. It is the largest privately held complex of its kind
in the world, and an international symbol of modernist architectural
style blended with capitalism.
