Stretching from 6th Ave. to the West Side Highway, and up from 38th St. to Central Park South, Midtown West wraps up all you love about New York in the avenues leading up to the Hudson River.
The obvious tourist attractions reside in Midtown West, including Times Square and Rockefeller Center, but for residents who want to miss the crowds in this urban locale, look closer to the water for popular spots like Industry Bar and Totto Ramen. However, renters and tourists alike will appreciate the lights and sights of Broadway, and the recognizable architecture of old New York. Pocket parks dot the grid of Manhattan, easing the inescapable buzz of the city.
Like the rest of Midtown, Midtown West is a major business district. It’s a convenient place to rent if you work in the area and you want to avoid a long subway commute or prefer to walk.
