Beekman Place
Beekman is one of Midtown East’s best kept secrets. Filled with old world charm, class and glamour this small settlement (its radius is 2 blocks by 5 blocks) is an ideal hiding spot for city dwellers searching for some peace and quit. Beekman Place runs from 49th to 51st Streets, consisting of two blocks of ivy-covered townhomes and co-op buildings. While its surface area is small, Beekman still has boasting attributes: a beautiful East River border, a public park, and United Nations headquarters nearby (many UN higher-ups have settled in Beekman). If this refined and tiny nabe strikes your fancy, explore similar Sutton Place next door to the north.
