by: Marcelo Cardoso

Nestled somewhere between the Chrysler building and Gramercy Park, this nondescript stretch of Manhattan is often overlooked. Once ranked as America’s bro-iest neighborhood (seriously), there’s actually much to love in Murray Hill/Kips Bay. And for those who explore it, little pops of character and hidden gems might just take you by surprise.

In our book, Grand Central is the one must-see for anyone who's ever stepped foot in New York. But beyond the majestic Tiffany clock, the soaring vaulted ceiling of the grand hall and the beautifully integrated Apple store, there are cute little gift shops, a swanky cocktail lounge (the Campbell Apartment) and an amazing food market tucked inside (Grand Central Market).
