Description
Rockefeller Center (analogue)New York
Rolleiflex 2.8D
Kodak Portra 800
December 19, 2015
You cannot tell from this photo, but this place was jammed with wall-to-wall people. I was lucky to be able to hold the camera still enough to even shoot this photo. I really don't enjoy being in crowds where I can barely move, but New York is so beautiful around Christmas that it feel worth it.

Ohh I saw this luckily totally empty in Home Alone II movie, I guess they might have filmed it at 4 am or something to get it empty... or put something so people couldn't get in the set!

Or maybe they filmed it during the spring of summer, in the middle of the night.

Uhm.. it had the Christmas decorations on.. hehehe apparently that was important for the movie, as apparently he loved Christmas trees and that was the largest.. hehehe but you never know with film studios they may even decorate it like Christmas just for one scene... haha I guess it depends of the budget of the filming company... ;D. But I went as far as to check it now out of curiosity.. hehehe seems my first guessing was right.. but I can only tell so due to the vapour coming from the mother in the scene taking place around minute 3 of that video . Unless they are also good with such effects... which one never knows!;D. I'm really not expert at film making. ;D

Unfortunately, there's nothing on the link that you sent. 
But I did find a set of still images from that final scene in Rockefeller Center. Either Culkin is superimposed by computer over the Rockefeller Center background, or it was filmed with the actual decorations (which could easily have been done), or they reproduced this in a studio soundstage. But it appears that the ice rink that is there during the Holidays is missing from the scene, so if it was filmed in New York, it was done at a different time of year than Christmas. So yes, it would have been 3 or 4 am, but definitely not during Christmas.
But to answer your question, there's no way they could have filmed that in New York around Christmas - even at 4 in the morning. There are too many things going on in that part of the city that time of year to allow film crews to have all their equipment around - even in the middle of the night. They would never be able to get all the film equipment out of the way to allow al of the tourists who come to see Rockefeller Center.
However, for a film that large, the City of New York would grant a permit to shoot a scene like that - but only for a time of year other than Christmas.

Ohh sorry for the broken link... some content show in some countries and not others but perhaps I typed some letter on it by accident and that might have caused it not to work, which is quite likely as well.
Ahh see there is like I said some information that the locals definitely know and when watching the movie they would say "yeah, right... as if that is ever likely to happen ...such and such place empty or looking so nice"

Aww, thanks Donna!
My legislative session starts next week, so that will begin my annual dA hibernation. But you're one of the few people here I'll try to keep in touch with, because you already understand all the stuff I'll be complaining about!

Yes Ivanka, it is Rockefeller Center! Very good! You did much better than I would do with anything Ukrainian!

Lol New York is something I'd like to visit someday so it would be a shame not to know various facts about it. Besides this place is very famous, i think I've seen Rockefeller center for the first time in a movie Home Alone 2

I -
How come everyone but me has seen Home Alone 2?
But yes, and questions you have about New York, or anyplace in the US, just ask me. If I don't know the answer, we'll find out together.
