The Rainbow Room was a high-end restaurant and event space run by the Cipriani family on the 65th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Opened in 1934, it was the first restaurant to be located in a high-rise setting. Suffering from a decline in business following the 2008 economic reversal, the restaurant closed in 2009. In 2012, it was declared a New York City landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission. On September 17, 2013, it was announced that the Rainbow Room would re-open in 2014.[2]
