Midtown East, Manhattan
Midtown East is Manhattan´s densest business district, centrally located, with great transportation (6 subway lines and Grand Central Station). Midtown East completes the New York Corporate image: Financial institutions, law firms and luxurious hotels and magnificent luxury towers. Many ethnic restaurants, cozy cafes, swanky lounges, and a very popular bar scene give this neighborhood more than a modicum of downtown flair. The area is home to many corporations such as Met Life and Citicorp as well as the United Nations. The center of Midtown East is Grand Central Station, which has been magnificently renovated, and is an architectural marvel lined with shops and restaurants. With the art deco Chrysler Building illuminating the skyline, every style of home is available in this neighborhood. Midtown East also has a few notable landmarks to its credit. The Morgan Library and Sniffen Court carriage houses on 36th Street are architectural masterpieces as is the Gilbert-designed Beaux Arts mansion. New luxury high-rise buildings are popular among professionals who choose to live close to work. Despite being one of the busiest places by day, there is no shortage of nightlife here. Numerous delicious restaurants, alluring shops, and jazzy local bars keep residents alive at night.

Apartment surroundings
The MOMA Suite is located on the high first floor of a beautiful building. The building is on a great block right in the middle of midtown New York City, just 4 blocks from the world-famous Museum of Modern Art – one of New York’s most famous landmarks. The apartment is located between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue. The apartment is quiet and peaceful but there are plenty of things to do right in your neighbourhood. There are about 20 different restaurants and bars on the next block – Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Japanese – are only several cuisines available within a 3 minute walk from the apartment. You will be amazed by how many New Yorkers love to sit at the tables outside these restaurants after a day at work. Staying in this apartment will give you a truly New York experience. You will also be close to Columbus Circle, Central Park and the famous Bloomingdale’s department store. Times Square is just a 15 minute walk away (or one subway stop away), the Empire State building is a 20 minute walk away (or 2 subway stops).

On the block where the apartment is situated and the next block (53rd Street) you can find anything and everything, you literally don’t have to leave the block if you don’t want to. Not only are there numerous restaurants and bars, some names of which are “Solera Restaurant and Tapas bar”, “Obao Noodle and BBQ”, “Baluchi’s Indian Food” (one of the best Indian restaurants in the city), “La Gioconda Italian restaurant”, “Peking Duck House”, bars “Black Finn” and “T.G. Witney’s”; you also have other little shops that will make your stay extremely comfortable, for example “Cellular Circle” where you can purchase a pay-as-you-go Sim-card if you want to use your phone during your stay in the US and not pay for the roaming. There is also safe and secure parking on the next block for $26 per day which is not expensive for New York.

If you are looking to try a new cuisine you might want to check out of these restaurants: “Al Bustan” Lebanese restaurant (53rd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues), “Barros Luca” Chilean cuisine (52nd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues), or “Gulluoglu” Turkish cafe (corner of 52nd Street and 2nd Avenue). If you are looking for the best breakfast place one of those will be the “Brasserie” or “Europa Cafe” on 53rd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues or “Pret-a-Manger” on the corner of 54th Street and Lexington Avenue. If you like smoothies, the best place in New York is definitely “Jamba Juice” situated on Lexington Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets, they make the smoothie in front of you with the freshest fruit, and you can add a boost (like immunity or energy supplement) or a wheatgrass shot to it to make it even healthier!

On the corner of 53rd Street and 2nd Avenue one can find even more restaurants and bars, there is also a Walgreens pharmacy where you can buy pretty much anything that you might need (including food). All the pharmacies in the US sell a lot of different foods, cosmetics, household supplies. Usually pharmacies are like miniature supermarkets with a prescription counter. On the other corner (53rd and 2nd) you have another pharmacy – “Duane Reade” – this is the biggest pharmacy chain in the city of New York.
