En ocho dias....

No trip to NYC city would be complete without stopping by Rockefeller Center. The home of the Today show and NBC studios. I always like to stop by and see Matt, Meredith, Al and Anne. In the summer though, you don't always see all of them. They tend to take time off during the summer. One person you are guaranteed to see every morning is Lenny. Lenny is always there. He is almost as famous as the four hosts. To learn a little about Lenny, click here. Another cool thing is that on Friday's, the Today show hosts their Summer Concert series. It gets pretty crazy down there. I've gotten to see Hillary Duff and Fall Out Boy. My suggestion is to go into Dean & Deluca to order coffee. Take your time looking around, and you will be able to get a good look at the stage and the artists. Have your camera ready, because they try to move you along pretty fast.

Here is a picture of Lenny from our last trip. He's in the cowboy hat behind Matt Lauer and Al Roker.

Rockefeller Center is also just steps away from Radio City Music Hall. That's where the famous Rockette's perform. You can also go to the top of the "Rock." I've heard it has an amazing view of the city. I have only personally gone up to the top of the Empire State building. And I can't talk about Rockefeller Center without mentioning this.


The home of the famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree. I have yet to see it because we always go in the summer. One of these days though. We have talked about it a lot. We have considered skipping Thanksgiving and Christmas to be able to go to New York for the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and stay a few days for the lighting of the tree. Hopefully sooner than later. In the summer, the bottom part that is usually the ice rink is turned into an outdoor restaurant. If you want to learn more about Rockefeller Center, click right here.
