Murray Hill:
Situated between Grand Central Station and the East River, Murray Hill is ideally located near New York’s centers of commerce and transportation. It is also a uniquely walkable, dynamic neighborhood whose spots for dining, culture, and nightlife invite constant rediscovery.
A Full-Service Neighborhood
The convenience of Murray Hill is defined both by its proximity to Midtown Manhattan and its array of local shops and services, which range from decades-old family businesses to the cutting-edge Dover Street Market.
The East River Waterfront
Dotted with green respites and edged by the East River, one of Murray Hill’s greatest charms is its blend of landscape and culture. A highlight of the neighborhood is the waterfront esplanade running southward from 41st street to downtown Manhattan. The riverfront area also offers recreation facilities like soccer pitches and a dog run plus access to the East River ferries and heliport.
History and Culture
While Murray Hill’s settlement dates to the 1750s, the historical neighborhood is more widely associated with the Gilded Age, when families like the Rhinelanders, Morgans, and Tiffanys constructed mansions and carriage houses along newly gridded streets. Surviving neighborhood architecture, as well as destinations like the Morgan Library & Museum and the New York Public Library will sate your curiosity about past and present alike.
Local Hospitality
Murray Hill is home to iconic local eateries as well as international destinations. Friendly pubs, cafes, bars and bistros make up a majority of the Murray Hill food scene, while the neighborhood’s “Curry Hill” cluster of restaurants and specialty shops is sought after by residents and tourists alike.
