Description
New York City is one of the most fascinating cities in the world, and the view from the top of the Rockefeller Center is one of the most spectacular views of the city. This view is looking south from the Top of the Rock towards the Empire State Building, and you can see One World Trade Center in the background.
Rockefeller Center is spread over a whopping 89,000 square meters (22 acres) bounded by Fifth and Sixth avenues and from 48th Street to 51st Street.
Rockefeller Center was named after John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who leased the space from Columbia University in 1928 and developed it beginning in 1930.
Although John D. Rockefeller Jr. spent most of his life engaged in philanthropy, his single, defining business venture was the creation of the “city within a city”. Constructed during the Great
Depression’s worst years, the project gainfully employed over 40,000 people.
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might. – John D. Rockefeller
I hope this print will remind you daily of the beauty of New York City, and the truth of the above quote.
