MIDTOWN EAST, TUDOR CITY, MURRAY HILL
From 42nd to 59th Streets and Fifth Avenue to the East River, East Side Midtown is a walk-to-work neighborhood that includes Sutton Place and Beekman Place - two of the city's most sought-after residential enclaves - and the historical district of Tudor City - bounded by First and Second Avenues, from East 40th to 44th Streets. A hectic street life by day or night, looming office towers and easy access to the Island on weekends, this neighborhood is full of life 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
The United Nations, the Roosevelt Island Tram, Sutton Place Park and antique shopping along First Avenue. You may simply be shopping in the 'neighborhood' except here it means classic stores like Saks, Tiffany's, Bergdorf's and Bloomingdale's. Second Avenue has all the pharmacies, cleaners and usual necessary accoutrements for everyday life.
A unique residential enclave nestled just south of Grand Central Terminal from East 29th to 42nd Streets, from Fifth Avenue to the East River. Once considered a ladies-who-lunch-and-shop-B Altman zone, Murray Hill now attracts affluent young families - and since apartments here tend to be small, there's been a lot of buying-and-combining. Locals believe that it was the W hotels on 39th Street that brought cool chic to the neighborhood that most unquestionably didn't exist before - but Ian Shrager might argue that Morgans did that years before.
Convenient to everything, experts claim the best values in town are here.
The Sniffen Court Historic District on 36th Street with 10 converted 19th century early Romanesque Revival style stables cum townhouses, the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, the Chrysler Building and 3 world-famous medical centers. Neighborhood stores include Macy's at Herald Square and Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue and 39th Street.
