FOX Square Live, NY Cam

This camera covers a plaza on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in the middle of New York City in the United States. It runs for the Christmas tree that is lit there each December and is off the rest of the year.

The tree in the picture is the one raised in this square rather than the far larger one two blocks east, which draws the crowds and the television coverage.

Sixth Avenue through here is a wall of office towers from the 1960s and 1970s, set back behind plazas of exactly this kind because the zoning of the time traded height for open space at street level.
