This is strictly a filming spot, if you want to even consider it at spot at all. You'll rarely, in not never see people having a session here. If anything, you'll encounter it in some New York video here and there. The standout object is the ledge-to-street gap, which is a thirty foot long approach off a two-and-a-half foot wide, five-and-a-half-foot high ledge over about seven feet of sidewalk into 52nd Street. Next to it, is a handicap ramp gap, off of which, you must clear a nearly three-foot-high rail using the slope that the ramp provides. Rolling down 52nd Street, there's a three-and-a-half foot long ledge-to-ledge gap where both the landing and the runway are just under three feet in width and are about five feet above the sidewalk. There's some steps here too, but they aren't really worth your time seeing as how there's better stair spots you could find just a couple blocks away.

You shouldn't worry about getting kicked out as much as you should about people walking by and making you wait five minutes in between turns. It's a night spot before anything else, because most of the stuff to skate, especially the street gap, requires empty streets/sidewalks.

52nd Street and 5th Avenue. Take the B, D, F or V to 47th Street-Rockefeller Center, skate east on 47th for one block, and skate north on 5th Avenue for five blocks.
