Midtown East &
Murray Hill--Midtown East
The area including Fifth Avenue and
everything east from 34th to 59th streets, is the more upscale side of the
midtown map. This side of town is short of subway trains, served primarily by
the Lexington Avenue 4, 5, 6 line.
Midtown East is where you'll find the city's finest collection of grand hotels, mostly along Lexington Avenue and near the park at the top of Fifth. The stretch of Fifth Avenue from Saks at 49th Street extending to FAO Schwarz at 59th is home to the city's most high-profile haute shopping, including Tiffany Co., Cartier, and Bergdorf Goodman, but more mid-priced names like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, and Liz Claiborne have moved their superstores in of late. The stretch of 57th Street between Fifth and Lexington avenues is also known for high-fashion boutiques (Chanel, Hermès) and high-ticket galleries, but change is underway since Warner Brothers (at the intersection with Fifth), Levi's, and Niketown squeezed in. You'll find plenty of spillover along Madison Avenue, a great strip for shoe shopping in particular.
Magnificent architectural highlights include the recently repolished Chrysler Building, with its stylized gargoyles glaring down on passersby; the beaux arts tour de force that is the newly renovated Grand Central Terminal; magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral; and the glorious Empire State Building, offering oh-so-romantic views from its observation deck.
Far east, swank Sutton and Beekman places are enclaves of beautiful town houses, luxury living, and tiny pocket parks that look out over the East River. Along this river is the United Nations, which isn't officially in New York City, or even the United States, but is on a parcel of international land belonging to member nations.
Claiming the territory east from Madison Avenue, Murray Hill begins somewhere north of 23rd Street (the line between it and Gramercy Park is fuzzy), and is most clearly recognizable north of 34th Street to 42nd Street. This residential quarter, lined with lovely brownstones, is largely a quiet residential neighborhood, most notable for its handful of good budget and mid-priced hotels.
Midtown East, from 30th Street to 59th Street on the East Side of Manhattan, offers hotels that are conveniently located near many of NYC's most popular sights including Carnegie Hall, Museum of Modern Art, Radio City Music Hall, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and skating rink and Grand Central Terminal. Midtown East includes the neighborhood of Murray Hill.
