Midtown

Kips Bay

Kips Bay is located on the East River between 23rd and 34th street, lies between Gramercy and Murray Hill. Kips Bay is home to several college campuses, two large hospitals Bellevue and NYU hospitals, office buildings, Baruch College, and St. Vartan's Park. Kips Bay is a big dog-owner area with several pet friendly buildings, and has a slew of mid-range bars and eateries typical of residential Midtown. One of the notable buildings in Kips Bay is 1,112 unit I.M. Pei-designed Kips Bay Towers.  

Midtown

Midtown boundaries are generally understood to be from 34th street to 59th Street, Central Park South. Midtown is Manhattan's central business district, where many of the corporate offices and famous shopping stores are. This area may be filled with corporate headquarters, crammed streets, skyscrapers, high end shopping stores and honking horns, but it also hosts an endless number of residents and visitors and a vibe that's filled with life and distinctly NYC.
 

Midtown is known for hot spots such Rockefeller Center, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Grand Central, United Nations, the famous Time Square, Time Warner Towers, Bryant Park, Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. Midtown is also a home to the most famous designer shops on Fifth Avenue such as Gucci, Fendi, Channel, Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, FAO Schwarz, Tiffany & Co and many more. On the eastern side of Midtown there are a number of magnificent luxury towers offering breathtaking park views, the most impressive of these is Trump Tower. Located directly on Fifth Avenue, this building is the office and home of real estate magnate Donald Trump, who himself resides in its top floors.
The residential stars of Midtown's western front are Hell’s Kitchen and Clinton. What was once a run-down district has become a vibrant, lively residential community. Both neighborhoods are home to an eclectic mix of young professionals and longtime residents. Ninth Avenue is lined with a new crop of chic bars, restaurants, shops and galleries.
 

With all that Midtown has to offer, it is also the City’s most tourist-filled zone. Seemingly the entire world celebrates New Year’s Eve watching a globe drop from a flagpole atop the former Times Tower in Times Square. Though a few spins around Rockefeller Center’s skating rink might be enough to get you to forgive the crowds and understand the sense of awe that this part of the city inspires.
 

Sutton Place

Sutton Place spans a few blocks on the border between Midtown and the Upper East Side. Perched on the East River, Sutton Place is known as a home to some of New York's most elite residents. The elegant, historic buildings, well-manicured public parks and private grounds of Sutton Place are just a few hallmarks of the famous. Sutton Place benefits from two public parks. One Sutton Place South—a neo-Georgian style mansion is one of the city's grandest addresses. Two townhouse rows—between 57th and 58th Streets—share a large communal garden overlooking the East River. 

Turtle Bay

Turtle Bay is located between 41st and 53rd Streets eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River ending at the UN Plaza and park. This up-and-coming area sitting on the East River is home to multifarious characters and vibes. While its Murray Hill borderline has provided Turtle bay with a great influx in nightlife options and a new level of trendiness, Turtle Bay still maintains a level of stately reserve (due to the United Nations sitting within its borderlines). Turtle Bay is a home for United Nations considered to be International Territory owned by all of its member nations. This is the area where many of the UN members like to reside. Most notable buildings are Trump World Tower and 100 UN Plaza.
