Around Garment District
Apartments off the main artery of the neighborhood, Seventh Avenue—also known as Fashion Avenue—offer a bit of a respite from the constant traffic. When convenience is the name of the game, some city dwellers prefer proximity to hubs like Grand Central Station or Penn Station. Others might prefer being close to Bryant Park and the New York Public Library main branch. What really matters is that leaving home to get almost anywhere else in the city is a breeze.
Expect having a hard time choosing where to dine between 36th and 40th Street in the Garment District. Tonchin, a Japanese ramen chain, is a favorite for lunch. Madangsui is a favorite for Korean BBQ and Parker & Quinn, located in the Refinery Hotel, is a tried and true American spot made for working lunches.
What was once considered an industry-based stop on the map of Manhattan has grown to be home for commuters and professionals alike. Highrises abound, with convenience winning out over character in most cases. Think brand new condominiums, renovated doorman buildings, and converted lofts. Due to its commercial status, don’t expect to see many townhomes or brownstones like in neighboring Chelsea or even Hell’s Kitchen.
Catch a show on Broadway, since you’re so close, anyway. Walk out of the theater into the madness of Time Square before slipping into Keens Steakhouse for a classic night out. A lineup of sports bars and Irish pubs on 8th Avenue make an ideal last stop before calling it a night.
Start the day early, before tourists or rush hour, with a coffee and pastry from Stumptown at the Ace Hotel. Spend time people-watching or reading in the lobby before picking up some fresh flowers from the neighboring Floral District. If inspiration strikes, browse Mood Fabrics, which is an industry staple open to the public. Walk across town to the piers on the East River before making a reservation at the brick lined Italian classic, Mercato.
With central transportation hubs like Port Authority, Penn Station, and Grand Central, it’s easy to see why New Yorkers with a commute call the Garment District home. Virtually every train is available from nearby Herald Square or Bryant Park. Located in the middle of the island, buses make their usual routes across town. Owning a car is nearly impossible without access to a garage and lack of street parking, but there’s really no reason to need a car when you have plenty of public transportation options and everything is within walking distance.
