Upper East Side
Manhattan’s Museum Mile spans 5th Avenue from 82nd to 110th Street. The six museums that fall within the Upper East Side are works of art in their own right. Three of the six—the Cooper Hewitt, the Guggenheim, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art—are National Historic Landmarks, but in the eyes and hearts of many, all of them qualify as landmarks.
Flatiron
Thanks to its central location and surplus of subways, Flatiron is a lively yet laid back neighborhood, with a mix of the best New York has to offer.
Upper West Side
Although it is a bustling slice of urban life, the Upper West Side is nestled between two of New York’s most spectacular green spaces, Central Park and Riverside Park, with the Hudson River just beyond.
West Village
A destination for nightlife, shopping, and strolls through picturesque streets, the West Village is a cherished pocket of lower Manhattan with stylish cafes and a charming, small-town European feel.
Soho
Nearly all of SoHo falls within the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, which became a National Historic Landmark in 1978, five years after being deemed a landmark by the city.
