This street is known as UN Way and has handsome light stanchions with flags with views of the Secretariat Building of the United Nations to the east and the Chrysler Building to the west. It is down the block from the large and impressive Tudor City complex and park. It is across the avenue from the Episcopal Church Center that is just to the east of the very impressive Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, a red tower with a very striking entrance on the sidestreet.
This building has some angled windows facing southwest and a large oculus above its entrance, which is stylistically repeated in its impressive, vaulted lobby, which has marble walls.
The building has a concierge, discrete air-conditioners, and large windows with angled sills. It has no garage, no balconies and no health club.
There is excellent cross-town bus service on 42nd Street although subways are not too close. There are numerous restaurants in the area, which has good architecture mingled in with a number of former industrial buildings and postwar office buildings.
