The Rink at Rockefeller Center is located between 50th and 49th street.

The Rink, or "skating pond" as it was first known, officially opened on Christmas Day in 1936.

Originally planned as a temporary exhibit, The Rink was so popular it became a permanent addition with the Prometheus Statue and the Christmas's Tree providing one of the most familiar backdrops in the world.

We are now on 49th street.

Art Deco Nudes by Leo Friedlander above the 49th street entrance to 30 Rock.

Rockefeller hated the nudes so much that he refused to enter the building through those doors.  However, he never ordered the sculptures to be removed.  He saw art as a public service
