Narrowest escalator in NYC

Escalator at 10 Rockefeller Plaza

Have you ever wondered where the skinniest escalator is in NYC? An
escalator that literally has no room to pass on either side? An
escalator that is only able to accommodate a single-file line of
passengers? Wouldn't you love to see and ride one just like this?

Well, you're in luck because if you pass through Rockefeller Plaza
between W 48th St and W 49th St (at 10 Rockefeller Plaza), through a
set of glass doors lies the narrowest escalator in all of NYC. This
escalator leads up to the street level from the Rockefeller Center
Plaza dining and shopping center below ground. If you aren't in the
mood to eat or shop and just want to ride this escalator, you can
enter the building at 10 Rockefeller Plaza and walk down the large
spiral staircase and then take the escalator back up. There is a
security person here at all hours but honestly, they don't mind since
the lobby here is adorned with a beautiful wrap-around mural by
Lakela Brown.
