Rockefeller Center spans from W 48th St to W 51st St , and from 5th Ave to 6th Ave. It includes Radio City Music Hall, The International Building, The French Building, The British Empire Building, and several others. The lobbies of many of the buildings have commissioned pieces of art. Sculptures, murals, and bas relief are wherever you look.
