This is the best spot you could find in Midtown if you are looking for something to ride with two wheels on. On both sides of the building is a row of five, slightly over a foot high, six-foot long granite blocks with smooth top surfaces. You could do pretty much any slide trick on them with the right amount of wax. The material doesn't grind regardless of how much wax you put on it. These same blocks can be skated as manual pads to drops if you approach them from the other direction. The drops range from four foot high ones all the way down to eight feet towards the end of the plaza. Once you land, you only have about eight feet to roll before you go into the middle of the street. At the very end of the marble blocks on the 49th Street side of the spot is a very high eight stair. The runway is smooth like the rest of the spot, the only problem is the landing, which is on fairly rough ground and on a downhill surface. Alongside the Madison Avenue side of the spot, is a thirty-foot long, three-foot wide granite manual pad that starts out at about a foot high and drops off when it is around two feet in height.

Avoid the 50th Street side of the spot because that is where the security window is. If you stay on the 49th Street side, you are guaranteed at least a half an hour here most of the time. Like most of Midtown, this spot is best skated at night.

49th Street and Madison Avenue. Take the B, D, F or V to 47th Street-Rockefeller Center, skate north on Sixth Avenue until you reach 49th, make a right and skate down on 49th for two avenues until you reach Madison Avenue.
