Just northwest of Rockefeller Center, at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street, is Radio City Music Hall , an Art Deco jewel box that represents the last word in 1930s luxury. The staircase is regally resplendent with the world's largest chandeliers and the huge auditorium looks like an extravagant scalloped shell or a vast sunset. Believe it or not, Radio City was nearly demolished in 1970, and the outcry this caused resulted in its being designated a national landmark.
