"Offers just about all you could ask for"
- SmartSugar
Lexington in the Central Park area is a lot of what you’d expect – expensive apartments, shopping, and hotels. There is also the obscure and unexpected hostel for international student visitors on th...

"Lively, but a bit dark"
- Anemone10
Park ave south is the section of Park ave that stretches towards Union Square. Although The Square itself is usually quite lively, Park ave itself is quite dark. Not many stores there stay open at ni...

"Nice Place to Settle "
- andiefrancese
East 27th Street is a nice place to settle into the city. It's close to everything and is only a block away from Madison Square Park. Because of it's location real estate is hard to come by but worth...
Ranked 5th best street in Murray Hill
"Near the Hustle and Bustle "
- sansavy
36th street is not as crazy and crowded as 34th street. On 1st avenue there is a nice small park. You are also in walking distance of the Empire State Building which is located on 34th street between...

"The Opposite of Lacking"
- Macsizzle
In the wealth of things to do in this neighborhood, you will not feel like anything is lacking on this block. For shoe shopping try Lord John's Bootery or Annte shoes for a more vintage selection. For...
Ranked 7th best street in Murray Hill
"The Copper Chimney"
- Macsizzle
If you like Indian cuisine, you should try some food from The Cooper Chimney. This block was fun but simple, residential, and seemed like more 30-somethings were present the younger crowd on other blo...

"Fun Street for Anyone"
- likearocket
Easy 34th Street is a fun place for singles, couples, families, and elderly alike. East 34th Street offers some great shopping and dining areas. There are also several hotels nearby allowing for easy...

"Perfect for young professionals"
- AriS
E 39 st features a number of buildings that cater towards young professionals. So if you like being in Murray Hill and on a street where people are coming home at all hours of the night this is the pl...
"One of the best streets in the neighborhood"
- JenMac
Of all the Avenues in Murray Hill, 3rd is by far and away the most jamming. It's like all of the life of the neighborhood went onto 3rd, leaving 1st and 2nd to just be sad and boring. 3rd is basical...
"Too midtown."
- JenMac
East 31st in Murray Hill is painfully close to midtown and it really resembles it too much for my liking. There are no neighborhood bars or restaurants and there's no neighborhood energy. It's loud...
"Nothing to do or see. Seriously."
- JenMac
2nd Ave in Murray Hill starts off with an ok looking Cathedral and equally as boring luxury high rises. I mean, Murray Hill, you've really outdone yourself when even your Cathedrals are architectural...
"Better than a lot of streets in the neighborhood but I still..."
- JenMac
East 32nd, as it starts in the neighborhood (on Lexington) is actually a cool little block if you can ignore all the tourists, cars and noise. Many of the buildings are from the 1920's and they're ve...
"Lovely old block with a lot of modern noise"
- JenMac
26th between 3rd and Lex has a fun little mix of big buildings and neighborhood joints like Vertigo (weird for an Irish bar), a little Indian restaurant, Ray's Pizza and an Afghan place. It doesn't s...
"Ritzy Shops Near Park Ave."
- Foxxxy
East 40th street in eastern Manhattan is only a few blocks from the busy FDR Drive, but it's also only a few blocks away from Park Avenue in the other direction. I love this area because it's full of...
"Getting into the glamour"
- JenMac
5th Avenue starts off in Murray Hill much like you would imagine any part of 5th to be: opulent. There's a gorgeous building right on the corner on 32nd that used to be a luxury department store but...
"Pershing Avenue Highlights"
- Macsizzle
I didn’t think that it was nice to look at and thought that because the streets around it were relatively convenient, that it would also house the same benefits, but I was sadly mistaken. This may not...
"First Impressions After 1 Day Living Here"
- mike
My Street (more appropriately, the few square blocks surrounding my apartment between Lexington Ave and 3rd Ave on 38th Street) seems pretty cool after 1 night of living here. The traffic is bearable...
"Long, wear good shoes."
- lita
I like most people had heard of Madison Avenue, but for some odd reason in the many times I visited the City I was never inclined to visit it. This was until a friend of mine decided he wanted to eat...
"Changes drastically but not a bad street"
- JenMac
24th starts off in Murray Hill with some great old buildings with less than great happenings. CUNY's Baruch College is right between 3rd and Lex and takes up the entire north side of the street with...
