The Neighborhood

Great places to eat, drink and enjoy the neighborhood vibes without the throngs of visitors in Manhattan. And the views of the city from the promenade are spectacular.
A dynamic, safe neighborhood full of great places to eat and things to see, yet so close ( 1 stop only! ) to midtown Manhattan.
