About Murray Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting in the north at 42nd Street, Murray Hill stretches to 27th Street and encompasses everything in between Fifth and Second Avenues. For most of the 20th Century, Murray Hill has been dominated by wealthy residents who have created a tight-knit community. The strong sense of community is unmistakable and a rare find in New York City. Getting to know the neighbors is easy as there are only a few supermarkets, dry cleaners and grocery stores in the area. Favorite bars and restaurants among residents are typically found along Park Avenue and draw the after-work crowd with the best happy hour deals in the city.However, if you\u2019re looking for after-hours hotspots and nightlife in Murray Hill, Third Avenue is the place to be. Reasonably priced restaurants, famed delis and quaint boutiques are also found along the edge of Murray Hill. The nickname of \u2018Curry Hill\u2019 has been given to the neighborhood thanks to the influx of Indian restaurants that have recently moved into the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filled with a rich history, Murray Hill boasts some of the finest architectural gems in the city, such as the Morgan Library & Museum and Sniffen Court. Grand Central Terminal and the nearby Beaux Arts-style mansions remain iconic highlights of Midtown East. At 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, the New York Public Library\u2019s vast collection makes it one of the world\u2019s premier cultural institutions. For nearby entertainment, venues like the New York Art Theatre and other Midtown cultural spaces offer performances and events, though longtime institutions such as the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater and the Jewish Repertory Theater have since relocated or closed.<\/p>\n

Murray Hill is also a prime hub for city-wide transportation.
