Rockefeller Center is a famous group of buildings in New York City built during the 1930s. Businessman John D. Rockefeller Jr. helped create it during the Great Depression to provide jobs and boost the city. Today, the center is known for its tall skyscrapers, radio studios, art, and the ice-skating rink that appears every winter. One of the most beloved traditions is the giant Christmas tree that lights up each holiday season.
