A happily un-hip neighborhood of midtown contrasts. Recent college grads and young professionals throng its Third Avenue bars, restaurants and co-ops for a kind of perpetual Reunion Weekend. The serene brownstones of the Murray Hill Historic District, little Vartan Park and the Morgan Library & Museum offer a sedate balance. The East Side bike path is great for all the neighborhood residents.
What's There
Stone’s throw (relatively) access to midtown.
The Vibe
From Third Avenue to the East River: Super-lively and young. From Third to Madison Avenue: Unpretentious and quiet.
Not-So-Guilty Pleasure
The great Indian restaurants in Curry Hill. Ditto for Korean in Korea Town.
What's Not There
Edgy street style, galleries, foodie scene, etc.
