It's not a myth - The model for Rockefeller Center's golden "Prometheus" statue was a real New York bodybuilder paid $1 per hour

Roman Catholic Church designed in the Gothic Revival style. Used to be 51 niches along the exterior that each contained a statue. Only 2 of these statues remain along 5th Ave. More history here <LINK> Read more.
The big golden statue and the lively atmosphere make this a fun place to visit. Haven't been recently but it's time to go back. http://www.mecritic.com/places/place/6113/Tao

Try to get seating near the Prometheus statue for a stunning view and ambiance during the evenings. The Pineapple Upside down cake with Dolce du Leche is a must try!
