Midtown Manhattan


There are several sections in the city - SOHO, China Town, Upper East, Upper West and on and on. I call somewhere on 40s and 50s Midtown, even though they might have more specific names depending on where on 40s or 50s. On the way to the office I got these two pictures - Chrysler building standing in front of the Grand Central Station, and the 3rd avenue.
I had a party on the top floor in Chrysler building one time, which has been closed for public, and I was able to open the window there surprisingly by considering how tall that building is. It was one time the tallest building in NYC before the Empire State building was built.
3rd avenue consists of the mixture of commercial and residential buildings - famous ones include the lipstick building.
Midtown is totally different from Brooklyn Heights even though it is only 20 minutes by subway. Can you imagine to live in the area like this?
