TOP OF THE ROCK |
|
Top
of The Rock
(Opening November 1, 2005)
 Tishman Speyer, co-owners of Rockefeller Center has announced the
upcoming reopening of the Top of The Rock observatory located atop 30
Rockefeller Plaza. Scheduled for November 1, 2005 this much
anticipated event returns a lost treasure to New York City residents
and provides visitors with an unparalleled opportunity to observe the
city's layout, and the beauty and grandeur of its diverse architecture
that can best be seen from this bird's eye view.
Originally opened in 1931 as part of John D. Rockefeller's dream to
provide a panoramic view of the City, the observation deck has been
closed to the public for twenty years. Now newly renovated by the
architectural firm of Gabellini Associates LLP, Top of The Rock now
boasts a balance of restored 20th century architectural details and
21st Century technological advancements.
 To reach what is destined to, once again, become a prized New York
City attraction, Start with the interactive display located on the
mezzanine level for information on the history of the Rockefeller
Center complex. From there, step inside the sky shuttle elevators
created to resemble time capsules. While soaring to your 67th floor
destination 850 feet above ground, you'll pass beams of blue lights
that represent the decades, which have passed since the 1933 building
of Rockefeller Center. The elevators' translucent panels are used as
projection screens to show retro footage of Rockefeller Center. Upon
reaching your destination, you'll step out onto the "grand Viewing
Room" where the north and south views of the City are dramatic. The
Weather Room, a completely enclosed, triple height square that
overlooks the plaza provides additional views and protects viewers
from the elements. If you are looking to turn dramatic into
spectacular, take the elevator to the grand viewing Decks on the 69th
floor where views (ranging as far as 80 miles on a clear day) will
take your breath away.
For the ultimate experience don't miss the 360
views from the 70th floor. Space on the 70th floor is
not as ample but
the totally open
air space gives you a feeling of
being on top of the
world.
Top of the Rock will be accessible daily from 8:30 A.M. to midnight.
Ticket prices are $14.00 for adults, $12.00 for seniors and $9.00 for
children 6-11 years old. Tickets are now on sale on line at
http://www.topoftherocknyc.com. To avoid long waiting lines,
tickets are being sold for specific dates and specific times. |

IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD |
 Columbus Circle has witnessed several transformations but none more
dramatic than the rapid metamorphoses that has occurred over the past
two years. The construction of the Time Warner complex on land that
once supported the New York Coliseum, New York City's primary trade
and exposition venue prior to the Javits Center, marked the area
destined for success. Several celebrity chefs and high-end retailers
lost little time in signing up for this much sought after space and
together have created a west side Mecca for dinners, shoppers and the
simply curious. The traffic circle has been reconfigured to permit
better flow of traffic that flows past this popular intersection
connecting east with west and midtown with uptown.
Two Columbus Circle, the massive quasi modern
structure, which sits on
Columbus Circle has for
years been the center of controversy among
preservationists seeking to establish landmark
status. A construction
permit issued in late June
to the Museum of Art and Design puts an end
to
this battle. In preparation for this new tenant, the
building will
undergo extensive renovations including, total demolition of the
interior and
reclading the exterior. Upon completion in mid 2007 this
building, which has remained vacant for many years and is in serious
disrepair, will once again service the community as a cultural venue.
A New Home for Alvin Ailey
The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater company founded in 1958 by director and
principal dancer, Alvin Ailey has risen from a small group of black
dancers who drove themselves from city to city to become one of the
most respected dance companies in the world. By 1960 Ailey had
choreographed his classic masterpiece "Revelations" and had become the
resident company of the 51st Street YWCA. Continued successes in
Philadelphia, Chicago and overseas in the early 1960s
 placed the
company on a accelerated track for an explosive future. Throughout the
past 30 years they have been the subject of television and stage
performances and recipients of the UN Peace Medal, Kennedy Center Honor, Handel Medallion and countless other well deserved awards of
recognition. They have circled the globe doing public and private
performances including, presidential inaugurations and Olympic
ceremonies. The talent, style and choreography of now legendary Alvin Ailey
are revered worldwide.
Growing rapidly in size, popularity and repertoire the dance company
has needed to move every few years, constantly seeking more adequate
space. From Manhattan to Brooklyn's Academy of Music back to Manhattan
and from east side to west side, each move accommodated another
expansion in the company, which today includes several traveling
performance troupes, dance schools, dance camps and children's
programs. With the recent opening of its new 75,000 square foot
complex on 55th Street and Ninth Avenue, the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater
celebrates a new chapter in the history of this formidable force
within the world of dance. |
