Location: In the case of Midtown East, the location is expressed in the name and the name is derived from the location. For those who are still confused, Midtown East is located on the East Side of Manhattan. Its southern border is commonly believed to be 42nd street, northern - 59th street, western - Park Avenue (or Lexington Avenue, or 5th avenue, depending on who you ask). To the north of Midtown East you'll find the Upper East Side and to the south - Murray Hill. Character: Midtown East is dominated by the United Nations and the surrounding quasi-diplomatic institutions. Actually, that's only its functional dominant, because architecturally it is dominated by one of Donald Trump's latest creations, The Trump World Tower. This architectural peculiarity was ardently opposed by the area's rich and famous, but was built anyway (and very quickly, may we add). At the time, it was the tallest residential building in the world (the title it quickly lost). Closer to the center of the island, the vibe is strictly business, with glass skyscrapers and 9-5 schedule for almost everything. Understably, the restaurants in Midtown East tend to cater to a dressed-up, older crowd.
