Murray Hill

USA / New Jersey / West New York /
 neighbourhood  Add category
Murray Hill is a neighborhood on the eastside of the midtown area of New York City's Borough of Manhattan. Around 1987 many real estate promoters of the neighborhood and newer residents described the boundaries as within East 34th Street to East 42nd Street, Madison Avenue, and the East River.

In 1999, Frank P. Vardy, the demographer for the City Planning Commission, said that the traditional boundary is within East 34th Street, East 40th Street, Madison Avenue, and Third Avenue. The neighborhood is part of Manhattan Community Board 6. There is a designated city Historical District of the same name, located within just the five city blocks between East 34th & 39th. streets and Park Ave. and Lexington Avenue.

South of Murray Hill, blocks on Lexington Avenue around 28th Street are sometimes informally called “Curry Hill,” due to the current high concentration of Indian restaurants and specialized grocery stores.
