Carter’s Review

"The stretch of Madison Avenue between Madison Square Park and 34th Street has undergone various transformations over the years.

Now, many of the hotels have been reclaimed for normal hotel use, the streetwalkers are gone, and the renaissance of the Flatiron and Park Avenue South districts in Midtown South have changed perceptions about the desirability of the Murray Hill area, which is just to the north of 34th Street, and much of Midtown South. Major advertisers, publishers and even investment houses have relocated from midtown to the general area and West 32nd Street has become a Ginza-type strip in the late 1990's."
