Midtown (Manhattan)

Midtown is the central district and commercial of the island of Manhattan to New York, known for its Gratte-ciel like the Rockefeller Center, the Radio City Music Hall, and the Empire State Building.

The exact size of the district is not clearly defined. The heart of the marketing activity, a roughcast rectangle of immense buildings, is located at the south of Central Park between the 40e and the 59e street. Some consider that the district covers a zone much wider, a quadrilateral delimited by the 23 {{E}} and 59e streets of the south towards north, and including all space between the Hudson River and the East River.

Whatever its exact size, Midtown is without question the most active retail park of the the United States. The majority of the skyscrapers of New York, sheltering offices, hotels and apartments are located in this sector. More than 3 million workers go there each day, and the district also knows a considerable surge tourists and students. Certain zones, on the Fifth Avenue and Times Square, are a true concentration of shops in all kinds.
