Citi Habitats' exclusive Midtown East Neighborhood Guide is an extensive then and now look at Midtown East.

Midtown East, running from 30th Street to 59th Street on the East Side of Manhattan, offers a wealth of NYC's most wonderful and popular sights, and includes such beautiful neighborhoods as Murray Hill and Kips Bay. The architectural profile features everything from plush new condominiums to the most traditional brownstones. But the majority of this neighborhood is filled with luxury buildings, many with views of the East River. Midtown is a bustling business center by day, usually leaving the streets quiet after 6:00pm. The Sutton area, contained within, offers fine examples of Classical architecture. Popular with many new college grads and young families for its safety and convenience, Midtown East also includes many people who have owned their homes and have resided here for many years.
