The business heart of Manhattan, where skyscrapers soar overhead, and the streets are packed with people on the move, Midtown is home to many of the top sights in New York — the Empire State Building, and the United Nations. One of the world's great
shopping districts, 5th Avenue and 57th Street between
Lexington and 7th avenues is where you'll find
some of the biggest names in New York retailing,
as well as the crème de la crème of foreign designer boutiques. The
place where the ball drops on New Year's Eve, Times Square
is still one of the city's principal energy centers and is
experiencing a remarkable renaissance as we speak. Over
thirty major Broadway theaters are all nearby, as are some of the city's largest hotels and thousands
of excellent restaurants. Just a short walk away is Theater Row, a string of six intimate
off-Broadway houses on the south side of 42nd Street between 9th and 10th avenues, and
Restaurant Row. |
