Hello: Here is the opinion of one New Yorker about
63rd/lex in NYC. First of all, this is a relatively
safe neighborhood with Bloomindales two blocks away
and on 59th and 3rd a strip of fine movie houses.
At the same time there are taxis everywhere,nearby and
major subways to take you anywhere .You are located in
the heart of Manhattan, with Central Park and 5th ave
two blocks away right near the Plaza hotel -go there
for a great breakfast. During the day you are in the
hub of commercial stores, flowing traffic and you can
walk anywhere in this area without fear of any crime
as you would find anywhere in any city. Just be aware
normally of being in a city. You can walk down or up
5th ave from your location in a few minutes. You are
ten minutes away from the Museum of Modern Art, and
fifteen minutes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Don't miss either. You are only five to thirty
minutes away from the finest restaurants, but get the
Zagat guide to NYC restaurants to point out your
selection. The subway is located at 60th street and
5th ave, and you can take a leisure bus ride down 5th
ave to the Empire state building, or lower manhattan
for the Soho scene and there you will find many
excellent and expensive restaurants. Or take the train
to the World Finance Center and see the new yacht
basin and a beautiful view of the harbor. You will
also find a subway in Bloomingdales as well to take
you downtown or uptown. In any case get a guide book
now, and plot your major points of interest.
Otherwise, you are in a relatively safe and central
location to get anywhere by bus, train or just walk
down 5th ave to Rockerfeller Center (ten minutes) or
St. Patricks which are both landmarks not to miss.
This is a great city, full of life, and excitement and
now its up to you to explore it. Have a great time
