Midtown

In Midtown you find some of the classic New York buildings. The beautifully restored Grand Central Terminal is paces away from the Chrysler Building, the United Nations, Rockefeller Center, home of the new Top of the Rock observation deck, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Trump Tower. And what says New York better than Fifth Avenue stores such as Tiffany & Co. and Saks Fifth Avenue? There’s Bryant Park and the Beaux Arts New York Public Library. Midtown also includes Times Square and the Theater District, and the newly reopened Museum of Modern Art. The American Craft Museum, Carnegie Hall, and Radio City Music Hall are in Midtownas is the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, which is an aircraft carrier with interactive exhibits, a Concorde, and submarine to tour. The Diamond District is 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.There are entrances to Central Park in Midtown, one of the most popular at Columbus Circle, where the Time Warner Center is. The Empire State Building is at Fifth Avenue and 34th Street, a few blocks south of Midtown. NYC’s Official Visitor Information Center (810 Seventh Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets) is open daily to assist visitors.
