Murray Hill & Kips Bay

Nestled somewhere between the Chrysler building and Gramercy Park, this nondescript stretch of Manhattan is often overlooked. Once ranked as America’s bro-iest neighborhood (seriously), there’s actually much to love in Murray Hill/Kips Bay. And for those who explore it, little pops of character and hidden gems might just take you by surprise.

Pierpoint Morgan's private library (not too shabby, if you ask me), is now a much bigger museum with a gift shop and a delicious restaurant. Most recently expanded by architect Renzo Piano, the complex has a soaring steel and glass central courtyard that plays nicely with the original Italian palazzo style building (designed in 1902 by Charles McKim). Sporting not one, but three Guttenberg bibles, this place is a serious treasure trove of impossibly rare books, manuscripts and drawings.
