Today Show/ Rockefeller Center Shopping

NBC installed a storefront studio on 49^th Street and Rockefeller Plaza where each weekday morning, Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira host the Today show. Many visitors come down and can watch and maybe become a part of the program!

Of course, Rockefeller Center would be nothing without its wonderful shops and restaurants gracefully lining its buildings! From the H&M to Morell's Wine Bar, you'll find nearly everything here.

Atop the 65^th floor, the Rainbow Room is a glamorous spot for dinner, drinks and dancing. It is only open on select days so you must call ahead to make reservations. The next door Rainbow Grill allows you a chance to see the great views at all times.

The majority of buildings in Rockefeller Center house some of the world's major companies, like Time Warner. This building, home to the Associated Press, definitely make walking into work more pleasant!

On a trivial note, there are 488 elevators in Rockefeller Center. A broken elevator should not be an excuse for being late for work!

The tall monoliths along Sixth Avenue were erected in the style of Rockefeller Center but only after 1960. They really look amazing in the late evening sky.The mammoth New York Hilton, with over 2,000 rooms is just up the block on 53^rd Street.
