Lexington Ave, Murray Hill

Lexington runs through Murray Hill from 34th to 42nd street. Lexington is one of the more notable and busy Avenues in the city and its run through Murray Hill is no diversion from the norm. It's a very commercial street in a pretty commercial neighborhood. So, a lot of the buildings are dedicated to business rather than living -- and the residences on Lex are predominantly luxury high rises so even those look like businesses.
Lex comes into Murray Hill at 32nd and the Opus Dei headquarters is right on the corner. The secret offshoot of the Catholic church gained recognition in the book the Da Vinci Code. I don't even think I thought this thing actually existed when I read the book and I'm kind of horrified that one of their headquarters is in New York. What a creepy thing to have to live next to . . .
The next few blocks hold a lot of business buildings mixed in with uninteresting apartment buildings and a little old hotel with a great burger joint on the ground floor. There is one interesting building, however, at 36th. There's a little house. An actual house that looks like it should be in the Village or Sutton Place and it's smack in the middle of all these skyscrapers. I have no idea what's in the house but I love the surprise of it. It's a beautiful house, too, but most of them are in this city.
The remainder of the street through Murray Hill is exactly like the beginning: boring. It's a bunch of bank buildings, corporate headquarters, etc. The only thing that really changes is that the skyscrapers start to get taller, the closer you get to midtown. It's pretty uneventful. And, there's no energy around here. There are no neighborhood joints and, seemingly, no neighbors. It's very much a work street that I wouldn't want to live on at all. It would be such a bummer to have to get into a cab every single time I got hungry.

Lexington Avenue stretches down Manhattan for 5.5 miles and is home to some of the most famous shops, stores and residential buildings. Lexington Ave, in and around Harlem, was largely seen as a less upscale area with delis and other convenience stores common, but in recent years retailers have seen the potential of the area and moved in. Edit, a clothing shop, came to Lex and 91st street in 2007 after several retailers had already moved in. Towards the Upper East Side and Midtown the more prestigious stores have held shop for sometime. Some extremely exclusive and expensive real estate is located on Lexington in the Upper East Side neighborhood, but a bit further north more reasonable accommodations can be found. Don't be fooled, "reasonable" still carries a steep price tag because of the Avenues name, but it's not an impossible dream. Overall the vibe is wonderful and the convenience can not be beat.

Lexington Avenue is one of the most famous streets in New York City. This street which runs along the East Side is filled with restaurants, shopping, beautiful apartments, and the hustle and bustle that is the city. Really this street depends on the intersection. This street at any given place is convenient and also in the midtown area tends to be home of some of the most prestigious businesses. I really like the feel of the East Side and think that this is a good place to live if you're thinking of moving to the city.

This one busy street, the commercial buildings lining both side of the avenue have the lower floors filled with business offices, So a lot of firms work out of Lex. Along with all the business activity comes the traffic and the noise. It has a whole line of eating places a lot of them being Indian.

A whole passel of business hotels are prominent on this avenue. This is the place you want to be in case you want to get you work in NY done.

Lexington Avenue is a hectic place to be is the last place you would want to come to for a little RnR.
Lexington Avenue carries most of the southbound one-way traffic from East 131st Street to Gramercy Park at East 21st Street it is about 5.5 miles long... and buzzing with a life. The Lex has numerous hotels and is very business oriented not a place to stand and stare. Lex is in New York's "Little India" is lined with kosher Indian restaurants. These have Indian names "Dosa Hut" or the "Madras Mahal", "Udupi Palace" and so on.

A great place to be if you are an Indian...a home away from home.
