Midtown East Manhattan: Iconic Sights and Shops Along Fifth Avenue

Midtown East refers to a 17-block stretch of central Manhattan between Fifth Avenue and the East River. The area is known for some of New York’s most famous landmarks, including Rockefeller Center, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, and Grand Central Terminal (one of the world’s most-visited tourist attractions). Though in recent years Grand Central has filled with upscale restaurants and shops, it still serves as a major transportation hub with subway lines, Metro trains, and ziplines heading all over the city.

A stroll down Fifth Avenue is a world-renowned shopping experience: the street is filled with luxury boutiques and flagship department stores, including the original Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. For a little tranquility in the middle of the city, follow Fifth up to the southeast corner of Central Park. Just a few feet off the street is the Pond, which is spanned by a stone bridge. A little farther north, you’ll find the heart of Central Park Zoo.

Not a Great Experience FYI: Some of these rooms have communal bathrooms. Make sure to read the fine print. Our room had bugs (see picture). The place was dingy and dark. I would not have felt comfortable leaving my room at night, so thank goodness I didn't need to use the restroom in the middle of the night. The price wasn't bad, but for me, I would have happily paid more to stay somewhere that had its own bathroom. Like I said, I didn't know I would have to share with strangers until I got there. Normally, when you stay at a hotel, they tell you a bit about it so that you can take advantage of the amenities. We didn't get that, and if the cool picture of the outdoor space actually existed, we didn't know where it was. The communal bathrooms didn't have paper towels. My room window was open and the room was muggy and uncomfortable when we arrived after a long day of travel. I would not stay again.

Great No Frills Hotel This is my third time staying at Pod 51. The staff are wonderful from checking in, housekeeping and the lady at the Pod Cafe. The location is great, few blocks to Times Square and Central Park and the subway station is a block up the street. The hotel rooms are small and they have no frills but it’s all I needed, a bed and a shower. We stayed in the “Veranda Pod” which had a nice little balcony to enjoy. The room was clean and cozy but the only downside was the noisy AC, even when turned off it’s very loud and found it difficult to sleep. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Wonderful experience with family We stayed for 5 nights in studio pod room . Its big enough to accommodate 2 adults and 2 children. There is no in-house restaurant but nearby hotels many options to eat. Near 5th avenue and only 20 minutes walking to times square.Special thanks to Mr Ravi Tiwary who managed our schedule and made necessary arrangements as per our convenience. Definitely we will visit again, recommend for solo and family travellers.
