LOCATION

Midtown Manhattan. Between 30th and 40th streets, west of Fifth Avenue.

SUB-DIVISIONS

Some people like to single out Little Korea (30th to 34th between Broadway and Fifth), but since this tiny area hardly qualities as a seaparate neighborhood, we include it in our definition of the Garment District.

Recent events surrounding redevelopment of Hudson Yards (between 30th and 33th streets west of 10th avenue) suggest another possible sub-neighborhood developing there. Similarly, though, even the largest development that covers a handful of blocks does not qualify as a separate neighborhood.

CHARACTER AND FEEL

A large proportion of buildings in the Garment District is commerical and light industrial. The area is home to one of the biggest department stores in the country (Macy's), a gigantic sound and video professional store (B&H), General Post Office, not to mention humongous Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Penn Station, and Madison Square Garden Center.

Some loft conversions exist and the situation is sure to change with the redevelopment of Hudson Yards (the project envisaging 5,000+ apartments is on the drawing board at the time of this writing in 2008).

The Garment District is known as a center of fashion and design in the U.S.
