If you look carefully around Rockefeller Center, you'll find gold leaf everywhere. It's 23 carat gold, which is 95.8333% pure. Here swords are being transformed into plowshares, from Isaiah 2:4.
"He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore."
Wonderful! Makes me want to rush to Rockefeller Center right this very minute and pan my eyes around for gold (!) It IS on 49(er) Street, right?

Alice, I believe that one is on 50th between 5th and 6th. Above a door.
