Murray Hill

Murray Hill is a neighborhood in Midtown East that extends south from 42nd Street to meet the neighborhood of Gramercy at 23rd Street. Its western border is at Fifth Avenue and eastern border now extends beyond Lexington Avenue, to meet the waterfront neighborhoods of Kips Bay and Tudor City at Second Avenue. Blocks on Lexington Avenue around 28th Street are known as "Curry Hill", for the high concentration of Indian restaurants. The recently-relocated Second Avenue Deli serves hungry diners 24/7. Important resources in the neighborhood are the New York City Science, Industry and Business Library on 34th Street at Madison Avenue, and Stern College, the women's branch of Yeshiva University, at Lexington and 35th Street. The marble and limestone Italian-style Pierpont Morgan Library at 29 East 36th Street is an outstanding historical site. Residents of Murray Hill enjoy their centralized location, especially for those who are able to walk to work.
