Midtown East
 The
area including Fifth Avenue and everything east from 34th to 59th
streets
are 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 lines.
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 Buildin g,
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.
