Midtown West Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A busy urban intersection with tall buildings, traffic lights, and pedestrians.
A cityscape with modern skyscrapers, historic architecture, and flags.
A Broadway theater with a marquee advertising a show.
A modern indoor staircase with glass railings and a high ceiling.
A cityscape with the Empire State Building illuminated against a twilight sky.

Epic city views, the neon lights of Times Square, the talents of Broadway and Hell’s Kitchen’s alternative nightlife… it’s all happening in Midtown West.

Be dazzled by the lights of Times Square before hitting Broadway’s theatres or, if you want to be surprised, see an “off-Broadway” show. For amazing architecture with mind-blowing views, head straight to the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Centre on the district’s edge. Dine out in the theatre district’s Restaurant Row, Columbus Circle or go even more eclectic in the Hell’s Kitchen district. “The Kitchen” has great nightlife too, including awesome LGTBIQ clubs.
