Murray Hill – Our Neighbourhood

by biscuitinabasket on June 8, 2010

So, now that we are slightly more settled in NYC, the time is probably right to tell y’all about our local area neighbourhood. We live in a Midtown neighbourhood called ‘Murray Hill‘. Oe thing is very noticible at the weekends in NY – various neighbourhoods like to put up stalls and have weekend markets or fairs 5, 10, 15 blocks long. A lot of these are repetitive – food stall, lemonade stall, clothes stall, music cd stall, fake jewellery stall, I Love NY tshirt stall.

One of the coolest part of Murray Hill is Grand Central station, which is around 7-10 minutes away from the apartment. Grand Central is exactly like it sounds – a beautiful structure, both inside and out.

Murray Hill is a nice and quiet neighbourhood, within 5-7 minutes from the East River, and about 5-7 minutes from the Empire State building. Check out the pics from our neihbourhood, Little Italy, China Town and Grand Central station on our Flikr Stream.
