Shops, shops and shops, and a smal park were the sights on the way.
Then we reached Central Station, the most famous train station of New York City. The station building is exceptionally nice, they even offer audio guides for it.
The inside is typical NYC interior design: marble and brass. However, somehow impressive this large hall with all these lights.
We took the 4 train to 86th street and went some more block up to the Guggenheim Museum with its Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Since we don't care overly for Modern Art it was just one picture from the outside and then we moved on.
Way more interesting is the Frick Collection where the art collection of Henry Clay Frick is presented as he left it when he died in 1919.
Unfortunately it wasn't allowed to take pictures inside so I post here a picture of my favorite painting taken from a postcard.
It was a very special museum which I can strongly recommend to any NYC visitor. Besides the art it shows the spirit of the Gilden Age which is so important to understand the city.
Then back to midtown, using the Madison Avenue once more, with all these designer stores.
Last stop today was the Rockefeller Center. The skating rink in the middle is one floor lower than street level and has many spectators from the inside. That was funny to see.
Around the rink there is a shopping and eating concourse in the lower level of the Center. Again it is this interior design of marble and brass, maybe brought to perfection here...
Every year a large Christmas tree is presented here next to the skating rink, maybe the most famous Christmas tree of the whole US, it even has a Wikipedia entry. The highlight is a huge Svarowski cristall star on top of it. The star is already on display...
...while the tree is still behind curtains..
