This Midtown East Side neighborhood runs from 23rd Street (south) to 42nd Street (north) from the East River to Park Avenue South between 23rd and 34th Streets then expands from the East River to Fifth Avenue across 34th and 42nd Streets.

Murray Hill was named after the Murray family, 18th-century Quaker merchants who moved to New York in 1753. Living in this part of the city may not be as charming as in other parts of Manhattan but housing here is slightly cheaper compared to its neighbors which many find extremely practical. Majority of the residents are young people in their twenties and thirties, mostly students and the young professionals of New York.

Living here is less expensive than in nearby Greenwich Village or SoHo. Most of the cheap but good restaurants are mostly located on the edges of Murray Hill although casual eateries are plentiful. Go straight to Third Avenue for a delightful selection of delis, bars and boutiques. Marvel at the architectural genius of the Morgan Library and Sniffen Court carriage houses on 36th Street.

Need to reach Murray Hill fast? No problem. Lexington lines 5 and 6 stops at Park Avenue while line 4 makes an express stop at Grand Central. Line 7 services 42nd Street along the northern boundary which brings Queens residents to the neighborhood in ten minutes from Astoria. Bus M16 and 104 goes crosstown servicing 34th Street and 42nd Street.
