Ice skating at Rockefeller Center is a quintessential New York City winter experience. The Rink at Rock Center first opened on Christmas Day in 1936.
5-th Avenue, major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan.
The section of Fifth Avenue that crosses Midtown Manhattan, especially that between 49th Street and 60th Street, is lined with prestigious shops and is consistently ranked among the most expensive shopping streets in the world.
The "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year.
For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis.
Some of the most coveted real estate on Fifth Avenue are the penthouses perched atop the buildings
One World Trade Center, the 4th-tallest building in the world and the tallest building in the United States since its topping out on May 10, 2013. It is also the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the tallest all-office building in the world.
Manhattan Bridge, suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn.
The bridge's total length is 6,855 ft (2,089 m). No tolls are charged for the use of the bridge.
Amazing view on Lower Manhattan's skyline and the New York Harbor, from Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Platform is 1,826-foot (557 m)-long, also is called the Esplanade. The Promenade runs between the Brooklyn Bridge and the ramp north of Atlantic Avenue. It came about as the unplanned byproduct of competing proposals for the highway’s route that were resolved in the midst of World War II; actual construction came after the war.
The American Planning Association (APA) compiled a list of “2012 Great Places in America” and declared Fifth Avenue to be one of the greatest streets to visit in America.
This historic street is home to extraordinary museums, businesses and stores, parks, luxury apartments, and historical landmarks that are reminiscent of its history and vision for the future.

The statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
