Landmarks
Brooklyn
Bridge - New York's oldest and best-known span is just north
of the South Street Seaport. When completed in 1883, it was the
world's longest suspension bridge and the tallest structure in
the city. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is a peak New York
experience.
Carnegie
Hall -
Musical headliners have played Carnegie Hall since 1891, when
its opening concert series included none other than Tchaikovsky
conducting his own works. Designed by William Barnet Tuthill,
who was also an amateur cellist, this renowned concert hall was
paid for almost entirely by Andrew Carnegie. You can take a
guided 1-hour tour of Carnegie Hall, or even rent it if you've
always dreamed of singing from its stage. W. 57th St. at 7th
Ave., tel. (212) 247-7800
Chrysler
Building -
The most graceful of the city's skyscrapers, this
stainless-steel tower is famous for its radiator-cap ornaments
and gargoyles and for its graceful African marble lobby.
42nd St. and Lexington Ave.
Ellis
Island -
Once the main East Coast federal immigration facility, Ellis
Island reopened in 1990 after a $140 million restoration.
Between 1892 and 1954, 17 million men, women, and children --
the ancestors of more than 40% of the Americans living today --
were processed here. Ellis Island, tel. (212) 363-3200.
Empire
State Building -
It's no longer the world's tallest building, but the Art Deco
structure, which opened in 1931, is one of the world's
best-loved skyscrapers. Go to the concourse level to buy a
ticket for the 86th- and 102nd-floor observation decks.
5th Ave. and 34th St., tel. (212) 736-3100.
Rockefeller
Center -
The heart of midtown is this complex of
19 buildings occupying nearly 22 acres of prime real estate
between 5th and 7th avenues and 47th and 52nd streets. The
outdoor ice rink, on the Lower Plaza between 49th and 50th
streets, is the center's trademark. The ice rink becomes an
open-air café in warm weather. In December the plaza is
decorated with a huge Christmas tree. The backdrop for the Lower
Plaza is Rockefeller Center's tallest tower, the 70-story GE
Building. The 6,000-seat Art Deco Radio City Music Hall,
on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 50th Street, is America's
largest indoor theater and the home of the fabled Rockettes
chorus line.
