Yes, pass the Ed Sullivan theater on Broadway and turn right at W.53rd. You heard the whirl of huge generators being driven by large electric motors. They were clearly visible from the street through a metal mesh. I guess to help keep things relatively cool in summer. I heard the noise and went exploring while my parents waited. I was about 11.
