Rockefeller Center aka Rock Center is a must-stop for any tourist or locals for pics especially during the winter holidays. there are always crowds especially during the day and when the area is decorated for the holidays during the evening.

awesome backdrops, ice skating (expensive), high-end shopping nearby as well as a lot of the branded stores, so many restaurants, and close to St. Patrick's Cathedral, FAO Schwartz, etc. of course, you have to see the TREE (from Nov - Jan), take in the views from Top of the Rock, take an NBC tour and so much more to do in the area for tourists and locals.

things can be fairly pricy in the area if you're eating, shopping etc. but i think it's worth it if you are in NYC and up for spending time in the area...and not just snapping Instagram pics.

and if the weather gets bad, you can always go underground into the Rock Center Concourse which is a network of stores, casual eateries, and more etc. connected to the subway underground.

the area has many subway and bus options...taxis and Uber/Lyft/etc. have a tougher time bc of traffic. opt for public transportation if you can.
