Glenwood Properties: Midtown East
Midtown East
Living on the East Side is a welcomed treat for many New Yorkers who want to be connected to the rest of the city but also find respite in their own quiet neighborhood. Fine restaurants and shops, the kind you find "only in New York," line the streets while access to many cultural attractions is made easy. Looking to get out of the city from time to time? You will appreciate the easy access to Grand Central, the world's largest train station.

Midtown East Neighborhood Highlights
Grand Central Terminal
If Times Square is "the crossroads of the world," then Grand Central Terminal is "the heart of New York City." It has been completely restored back to its 1913 splendor and is the largest train station in the world (based on the number of platforms).
United Nations Headquarters
The center of diplomacy between heads of state, the United Nations Headquarters provides informative and inspiring tours on a daily basis. Built in the aftermath of WWII and bankrolled by the historic Rockefeller family, the United Nations building is steeped in a cultural legacy both globally significant and specific to the history of New York City.
Saint Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral presents a breathtaking Neo-Gothic face to the City. Starting in 2012, the Cathedral has entered a large-scale, five-year renovation project to restore the still-splendid church to its former glorious state, undoing the damage caused by rain, pollution, millions of visitors and the ravages of one hundred and fifty years.
Chrysler Building
With its iconic art deco crown, the Chrysler Building is arguably New York's most distinctive tower, and it has stood among the tallest buildings on earth since construction completed in 1930. Its planners "wanted a provocative building that would not merely scrape the sky but positively pierce it."
