Each morning Ella wanted to go to Rockefeller Plaza to see the TODAY Show outdoor segments being filmed. The first morning we were there, Al Roker was still on vacation, so we received Little Al Roker bookmarks instead of seeing him alongside Matt Lauer on a walkabout.
Whenever I lay my eyes on 30 Rock, Jeff Richmond’s theme music from that eponymous show starts playing in the intracranial theatre of my imagination, and the opening credits fly behind my eyelids.
I love the Art Deco designed facade and the sculpture of the fire-stealer Prometheus that watches over below.
A short walk north on Fifth Avenue will take you by this sculpture of Atlas, shouldering the weight of the world across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where I always stop in to light a candle in memory of my brother.
