30 Rockefeller Plaza is the 66-story, 850-foot Art Deco centerpiece of Rockefeller Center in Midtown, completed in 1933 and designed by Raymond Hood. It was the RCA Building until 1988, then the GE Building, and now the Comcast Building, and it houses NBC's headquarters and New York studios, including Studio 8H, home of Saturday Night Live. The Top of the Rock observation deck has views over the city, and the building has many commissioned artworks.
Highlights
- Top of the Rock: the observation deck
- Rainbow Room: the 65th-floor event room and restaurant, opened in 1934 as the first restaurant in a high-rise, reopened in 2014 after restoration, with a landmarked dance floor and the SixtyFive lounge
- NBC Studios: Studio 8H, once the world's largest radio studio and home of the NBC Symphony under Toscanini
