Midtown

Navigate successfully through the skyscrapers, suits and taxis that dominate daytime Midtown and you’ll find a whole heap of New York City landmarks you know and love.

Bustling Midtown, the center of New York, has more than its fair share of cultural attractions and iconic places. There’s Grand Central Terminal and the Empire State Building for starters. Fifth Avenue is a top destination for window shopping, while to the east the scenic streets of Murray Hill lead off to the waterfront United Nations headquarters. Midtown will provide the architecture and the history, you just need to keep your eyes peeled for the hidden gems.

Nice people but poor hot water.
