👀 We've been looking for this!

🏙️When Untapped New York launched our Art Deco Icons of NYC walking tour, we wanted to include this piece of art that was in the Rockefeller Center subway concourse, but we couldn't find it since the concourse was under construction.

😯On a recent visit to Olde Good Things, we saw the sculpture hanging on a wall!

✨Find pieces of more iconic sites at the Olde Good Things flagship store at 333 West 52nd Street and learn more about Rockefeller Center's lost Center Theater here: https://www.untappedcities.com/roxy-theatre-rockefeller-center/
