Give my regards to Broadway - and let me live there while you're at it. Times Square is gussied up in its neon best, and luxury rentals and new high-rise towers are part of the action. The area west of Eighth is home to well known eateries such as Esca, and new condos like Clinton West and the Orion.

The neighborhood overall - Midtown West runs from 34th to 57th streets, from Fifth Avenue all the way to the Hudson River - still maintains a diversity that's reflected in the Ninth Avenue restaurant strip, where you can get everything from Argentinean beef to vegan delights. During the summer, many head to Bryant Park for free movie screenings and jazz concerts. And in the winter there's the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, unmatched anywhere else in the world.
