Madison Square Park, Gramercy Park and Union Square are within 1-3 blocks from this marvellous location. The latter has the famous Farmers Market on the weekend where you can buy the freshest produce in Manhattan - fresh apples, cauliflower, sprouts, tomatoes - anything you desire.

Murray Hill thumbs its nose to old-school European elitism—indulging instead in the modern, high-rise variety of building (usually well-equipped with doormen, laundry facilities, and gyms.) As we’ve emphasized already, Murray Hill is a great place for younger, up and coming folks who work in Midtown—on nice days of the year you could walk to the office, otherwise a cab won’t cost you more than $5 or so and the bus is always just $2.00. Murray Hill also appeals to the under 30 set for its more lenient policies on noise and partying. Most newer high rises were built with soundproof walls—although some more rockin’ parties have been known to break the barrier, for the most part you can feel comfortable inviting your friends over to enjoy your lovely pad. Dreamy and evasive Café Lalou on 83rd between Columbus and Broadway is where Tom Hanks dated Meg Ryan in You Got Mail. The pastry is as luscious and decadent as the French decoration. A must visit. Then around the corner you got the best Hazelnut coffee in town. The place is called Drip and do pay attention to the stationary computers and myriad of folders. It is one of the most ingenious dating concepts in a coffee shop. Then later at night you have Lava Lounge that has an exceptional red lounge room with huge pillows and a basement lava room. It changed names recently but ask around on 83-84th Street on Columbus and you will be directed in the right direction. This is my favourite lounge of all time. In addition, just walking down Columbus you must take advantage of the exquisite Snapper presented at Calle Ocho between 82nd and 83rd Street on Columbus. It was spectacular and is a must treat. The oyster lovers will be pleasantly served on Columbus between 78th-79th Street at Ocean Grill with your own private fire place – find it and for a final enjoyment of privacy, find Café Des Artistes at 1 w. 67th. Of course, you must visit Tavern on the Green which is located a stone throw away in Central Park off Central Park West and 70th Street. These are the secrets of the Upper West Side. Indulge this and don’t forget that Lincoln Center and the Shakespear in the Park have free performances all summer long, every summer. Lincoln Center has live music bands outdoors on Lincoln Plaza for free for 4-6 hours each Saturday night during the summer – all from Salsa, Jazz, Classical to anything that makes you move. SoHo is a neighborhood rich in 19th-century cast-iron architecture, contemporary art galleries, trendy boutiques and eclectic restaurants. The name is an acronym which comes from the area`s location SOuth of HOuston This neighborhood has restaurants such as Cipriani, Cafe Gitane, Cafe Havana and is walking distance to neighborhoods such as Little Italy, West Village, Chinatown, Tribeca, Noho, Greenwich Village and Union Square. These are within a few blocks any way you go. Mercer Kitchen and Bar 89 are a must visit. Do have the chocolate martini at mercer kitchen and the burger special at Bar 89. Pravda and Balthazar are a second must among Bond, the sushi place on Bond Street.

Most newer high rises were built with soundproof walls—although some more rockin’ parties have been known to break the barrier, for the most part you can feel comfortable inviting your friends over to enjoy your lovely pad. Tribeca is the place where you’d better watch out at night…it gets pretty deserted, but hey—that’s half the fun of going clubbing isn’t it? Cos you certainly won’t get yelled at for a noise violation when all the people live in lofts on the higher floors and everyone on the ground is rockin clubs and bitchin bars. Nightlife highlights, uh huh…check out Sway, Club NV, Don Hill’s, and other bastions of nightly splendor. It’s fun to hang out in this little area around Spring and Greenwich=--loads to do and models galore, it’s a funfest of looking good and copping attitude with the little doorperson in the furry coat. Technically, Tribeca stands for the “triangle below canal,” but as time passes the boundaries have expanded slightly northward to almost Houston Street. This are, though formerly classed as SoHo west, can more properly be defined as Tribeca, as it retains the flavor and character of the rest of the triangular neighborhood. While the area can get a bit quiet at night, there are usually always a good number of amenities within walking distance. Expect to find as many Duane Reade drug stores as you can handle (this is, after all the geographical location of both Duane and Reade streets…), lots of bodegas and gourmet delis, and a decent amount of banks as you get closer to the southern expanse near the financial district and to the east, near SoHo. Tribeca is serviced by the A,C,E, 1 and 9 trains, all of which make several stops in the area. Residents living along the river will have a farther hike to subway stops than some of their more easterly neighbors, but the walk can be worth the tradeoff for out-of-the-way, cavernously converted loft spaces lining the side streets. Although spaces in Tribeca are not as cheap now as they were for migrating artists in the 1970s, the better deals are still the ones farthest to the west, near the piers and the Hudson River. Otherwise, Tribeca’s history is full of factory life and today, of book publishing. Publishers line the streets down here, from West Broadway to the river. This was and is the publishing district of New York—major publishing houses and the little guys alike do their business in the ancient loft spaces lining West Broadway, White, and Leonard Streets. Expect to find an overabundance of buildings with manually operated elevators—a big plus for the people person who loves to gossip about the day’s events with Fred the elevator guy. Besides fodder for your bookshelves, Tribeca can provide ample stock for your belly—both in the form of healthy and sinfully bad for you food options. Spilling out west from SoHo are some of the best, or sometimes just the most talked about, restaurants in the city, including ol’ Bobby DeNiro’s Tribeca Bar & Grill. Unlike other neighborhoods, it is hard to identify a strong blanket community of residents in Tribeca, a detail that proves appealing for anyone who wants to feel a part of a relatively “new” neighborhood scene, one that is based around the active and creative lives of its inhabitants. Locals are, for the most part, between 25-40 years of age and often still members of the NYC single scene. This is a fantastic place to gather a group of single friends together in one loft space, while perhaps not the top neighborhood to settle down and raise a family. While there are some stellar schools in Tribeca, the sometimes desolate landscape is not really conducive to playing children, and the lack of outdoor parks and green spaces makes it difficult to find a Tribeca is also home to the Holland Tunnel, a fact which made the area a bit of a traffic squeeze. This was alleviated by the construction of the West Side Highway, an elevated stretch of land to replace West St. Noise is a consideration if you live in the far nothern tip of Tribeca, close to Broome and Canal streets, otherwise—the street noise at night is negligible and mostly reserved for night owls crawling home after a night out. Also location of several attractive schools, including PS 234 and the Borough of Manhattan Community College. Tribeca is all about interesting architecture and the reclusive celebrity. This is a great place to live if you’ve got money, but don’t want to live in a high pedestrian traffic area. It seems almost perfectly catered to those shy by day but crazy by night party animals, for whom the many clubs and lounges in Tribeca are well-suited. Just a good spot for big rooms/spaces, privacy, and proximity to the best Manhattan has to offer—from shopping in SoHo to the eating, clubbing, or relaxing that can be found right in Tribeca. SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR FRIENDS. We are trying to influence the rental market to rid itself of tenant broker fees and we need your help to Spread The Word. You just must visit First during 2 occasions while in the East Village. First is a bar/restaurant located on First Avenue between 5th-6th Street. The salt and peppar mini tini is my all time favorite drink. It’s presentation is adorable with a small carafe in a ice bucket and two martini glasses. Then the taste itself is great. This should be done at night. In addition, the brunches here are great on Sundays. Free champagne brunch will bring all your friends together in this well decorated, chic restaurant. Of course, I also love the garden hidden walking through the kitchen of Cucina di Pesci on east 4th off 2nd Avenue. There is also Little Japan on e. 9th Street between 2-3rd Avenue that few people even know exists ?numerous sushi restaurants with the first 2nd floor sushi restaurant coming from 3rd Ave having a secret 2nd floor bar and lounge. You must walk through the sushi restaurant to find it. It is quite quaint and secluded from the restaurant sizzle and dazzle. East Village have numerous other secret spot. In the midst of Little Japan on this block, there you will find this marvellous outdoor restaurant with wine racks producing a temporary roof and a live fountain. Try to find it - it is visible from the street. This is a marvelous location during the summer. These are all must visit locations and the East Village holds so many more. This is the spot.
