The Top 10 Landmarks in the US

Designed to function as a "city within a city," Rockefeller Center in New York City is home to a wide variety of art, style, and entertainment. The popular Today Show premiered live from its studio in Rockefeller Center in 1952, and has since filmed more than 16,000 episodes in the area. "This is definitely a place every tourist should see. You can go to the Top of the Rock (for a fee), meander outside, or simply get lost in the underground eating and shopping extravaganza," one TripAdvisor reviewer commented.
