One of the largest areas in Manhattan, the Midtown West neighborhood includes several important districts: Times Square, Clinton (formerly Hell's Kitchen), and Central Park South. Stretching from Fifth Avenue to the West Side Highway and 34th Street to the southern tip of Central Park, the Midtown West area is home to many storied landmarks: the Plaza Hotel, Sardis, Carnegie Hall and the Russian Tea Room, to name just a few. Always vibrant, Midtown West is remarkable for its great diversity. From housing, music and theater to restaurants, bars and shops, Midtown West is the great melting pot, a destination for tourists from all over the world who mix and mingle with locals out for post-theater dinner or a stroll along Central Park South. Though much of the area caters primarily to tourists, locals also delight in the tastes, sounds and sights of this enthralling district. Even for the seasoned New Yorker, a trip to Restaurant Row at 46th Street between Broadway and Ninth Avenue inspires a sense of awe when considering the choices -- everything from 100-year-old Barbetta (the oldest Italian restaurant in New York), to romantic French bistro Le Rivage, and B. Smith's, the eponymous Southern-influenced restaurant from the celebrity chef and restaurateur.
