Busy every day of the week, Midtown East is the home of a professional, business-class crowd. Tourists marvel at the glamour and aura of Fifth, Madison, and Park Avenues, while locals mostly stay east of Lexington Avenue where most of the neighborhood’s restaurants and bars can be found. Located at the southwestern tip of the area, the New York Public Library and Bryant Park are wonderful spots for people-watching and stealing a few minutes of tranquility. At the northwestern tip are Grand Army Plaza and Central Park.
