The setting

Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan Midtown East stands at 148 East 48th Street in Midtown East, on a side street of offices and apartment blocks rather than a through avenue. Grand Central Terminal is about 0.2 miles (0.4 km) away in a straight line, which puts commuter trains and the subway within a walk. Times Square is about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) in a straight line, Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 0.6 miles (1 km), and Penn Station about 1.1 miles (1.8 km). LaGuardia is about 5.4 miles (8.7 km) in a straight line.

The street is calm at night and busy at lunch, with the office towers of the east side on the doorstep. Observation decks are about 0.2 miles (0.4 km) away in a straight line, so an evening view is a short walk. The 9/11 Memorial is about 3.7 miles (5.9 km) south, and JFK is about 13 miles (20.7 km) away in a straight line. Use the straight-line figures as a guide only: Manhattan traffic and the grid add to every road trip.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown East fills the blocks between Fifth Avenue and the East River, from 42nd Street up to 59th Street, with Turtle Bay at its eastern edge. The office core around Grand Central Terminal gives way to side streets of apartment buildings, small gardens and quieter corners. The Chrysler Building marks the skyline near 42nd Street, and the United Nations sits by the East River. Evenings bring theatergoers east from the Theater District and office workers to the neighborhood's dining rooms, so the streets stay busy after the commuters leave.

Turtle Bay rewards a slow walk. The streets between the United Nations and the East River mix row houses, apartment blocks and small parks, with the riverfront close at hand. Grand Central Terminal is the transport anchor, and the Chrysler Building adds a landmark to the skyline. For food lovers, the area works best in the evening: the blocks south of 59th Street hold a spread of dining rooms, from old-line steakhouses to casual noodle shops, and the Theater District is a short ride or walk west. Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan Midtown East sits within this mix, close to both the office core and the quieter side streets.

Getting there and around

Getting there is straightforward. Grand Central Terminal is the main rail and subway hub, with connections across the city and the region. From Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan Midtown East, 0.2 miles (0.4 km) brings you to that terminal. JFK and Newark are usually about 45 to 75 minutes by road and rail depending on traffic and connections; the closest airport by road is LaGuardia. The center of Manhattan is around 0.7 miles (1.1 km) away, and LaGuardia is around 13 miles (20.7 km) away. Within the area, walking covers most blocks, and the subway is useful for longer hops. Check current subway service with the MTA and airport transfer details with the airport before you set out.

Nearby sights and food

The area's sights sit within easy reach. Grand Central Terminal is both a working station and a Beaux-Arts landmark, and the Chrysler Building rises nearby. The United Nations complex faces the East River, and the riverfront gives long views across to Queens. The Museum of Modern Art is west of the office core, while the Theater District and Broadway lie a little farther west. Observation decks at several skyscrapers give high views, and Hudson Yards and the Vessel are a short subway ride away. The Intrepid Museum sits on the Hudson side. Check opening days and timed entries with each venue.

Evenings are the main event for food lovers. The blocks around Grand Central and Turtle Bay cover a wide range: steakhouses, Italian trattorias, sushi counters, Thai and Japanese noodle shops, and Irish pubs that fill after office hours. Closer to the United Nations, lunch places give way to quieter dining rooms in the evening. For a quick bite, look for slice counters, falafel shops and food halls; for a longer dinner, book ahead, especially before theater curtains. Menus and opening days change, so check with each place. Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan Midtown East puts you within walking distance of many of these tables.

A day from Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan Midtown East
