Formerly home to the City's effluent during the late 1800s and early 1900s, Murray Hill offers plenty to attract those interested in NYC's dining and nightlife scenes. On these streets, lined with prewar townhouses and Beaux-Arts mansions, you can find the Morgan Library & Museum, gifting the City with an enormous collection of rare books; and the sleek, modernist Scandinavia house, which holds an art gallery and frequent concerts and lectures.
Murray Hill is a neighborhood on the east side of Manhattan in New York City. Murray Hill is generally bordered to the east by the East River or Kips Bay and to the west by Midtown Manhattan, though the exact boundaries are highly disputed.
Murray Hill was relatively isolated from the rest of New York City, which at the time was centered in lower Manhattan. Murray Hill became an upscale neighborhood during the 20th century. Today, it contains several cultural institutions, as well as missions and consulates to the nearby United Nations headquarters.
