The most classic and memorable skyline in the world looms at the heart of Manhattan's Midtown district, the backdrop for countless feature films and inspiration for some of the greatest stories to light up the Great White Way. From Broadway to 42nd Street, Times Square to Grand Central, Fifth Avenue to 34th Street, Midtown Manhattan lays claim to some of the most celebrated addresses in 20th Century American Culture.
From 34th to 59th Street river to river Midtown Manhattan has enjoyed a decade of rejuvenation that has made it a popular residential choice due to its convenience to transportation and easy commute to business and commercial centers.
The more classic residential areas are located on the East Side in Turtle Bay,Tudor City, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, and the exclusive Beekman and Sutton Place neighborhoods. West of Broadway a development boom of skyscraping luxury residences and restoration of the old Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, made famous in the classic film West Side Story, is taking place. Now known as Clinton, old tenements have been made into renovated elevator buildings, brownstones have been restored to their original charm, and trendy restaurants draw a creative and upwardly-mobile clientele.
