The Rockefeller Apartments, built in 1936, were once described in a real estate journal as a model community in the heart of the city these buildings were 100% rented before opening  which was rare for the depression era.  Nelson Rockefeller commissioned Wallace K. Harrison also working on Rockefeller Center, to design the buildings in 1935.  Landmarked 40 years later, the buildings are 100% cooperative (1953), pet and pied a terre friendly. A beautiful garden between the 54th and 55th sides of the building with tables and chairs and a little pond is a wonderful respite from the world around the building.  In addition to MOMA you are adjacent to the world's best shopping and within walking distance to Carnegie Hall, Central Park, excellent restaurants, the theater, Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle.  Local food shopping includes a neighborhood grocery and Whole Foods.
