Lonely Planet review

Built in the 1930s during the height of the Great Depression, the 22-acre center gave jobs to 70,000 workers over nine years and was the first project to combine retail, entertainment and office space in what is often referred to as a 'city within a city.' The biggest news here as of late has been the late-2005 reopening of the long-shuttered Top of the Rock observation deck, which affords stunning views of the city.
