Floor-to-ceiling windows frame East River views from this apartment's living and dining areas – a backdrop that makes even a quiet morning feel cinematic. The building's shared indoor pool is a rarity for Manhattan, and between the fitness studio and children's playroom, you'd rarely need to leave. When you do, the Empire State Building is a twenty-minute walk away, while Times Square and Rockefeller Center are both reachable via the subway. A supermarket directly below the building keeps the practicalities painless, while 24-hour concierge service means you can focus entirely on the city.
