Midtown Manhattan | New York Layout Explained (with Map)

In a series that lays out the neighborhoods of New York City, this video covers Midtown Manhattan. Whether you live in NYC or visiting, you will most likely find yourself in the clutches of Midtown Manhattan at one point or another. It makes sense. It has central hubs for both local city and out-of-state transportations, live entertainment from Broadway to comedy clubs, Michelin dining to hole-in-the-wall joints, contemporary art, classical architecture, etcetera.

Midtown Manhattan is massive. It’s dense. And it’s smack right in the middle of the city.
We are going to cover it at a 10,000-foot view in rapid fire. This is not a video that you watch at 2X speed. Feel free to pause and rewind and know that each area that we are going to cover is a subject of a potential future video in and of itself.

If you are moving to NYC or visiting, this is a great video to watch.

What I love most about living in Queens near a subway station is that Midtown is only 20 minutes away on the E and F Trains.

Greta videos. I am looking to purchase a home in NYC. But want to get a feel as to where I want to buy. Was looking for homes around Central Park. I probably will go and stay for a month or so just to get a feel as to the area but would love to have a professional guide to show me around. Do you have any recommendations for guides? Also once I do purchase, where do individuals purchase furniture and the things needed to furnish a home. Would like to purchase all new furnishing and art. Great videos once again.
