Urban convenience and history in the heart of Manhattan
A neighborhood with century-old ties to the fashion industry, the Garment District still hums with the energy of commerce. It’s an area at the center of it all, just south of Times Square, providing quick and easy access to other parts of Manhattan. “There’s a ton of history layered into the area,” says David A. Palmieri, a Corcoran broker who sells properties here. “The buildings were not originally built for living, so it’s a different loft-like spatial experience that you really only find in other places like Soho, Tribeca or DUMBO.” The Garment District retains its urban edge, and its location is ideal for immersing oneself in the experiences and traditions of New York City.

Gastropub District Social serves elevated American and cocktails and Mercato offers Italian in a cozy setting. For groceries there is a Whole Foods opposite Bryant Park and a Target on 34th Street. The Drama Bookshop is a spot for literary culture and events. Madison Square Garden hosts concerts from global superstars and is the home of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers.

Plazas and an active park to the north
Green space is scarce in the Garment District. City-designated parks function more as public plazas, with seating and vendors, than natural havens. But nearby Bryant Park not only offers a large expanse of grass, it’s also the site of non-stop activity, including the seasonal Winter Village with an ice-skating rink, free summer film screenings, and Broadway in Bryant Park.
Herald Square is a convenient stop of a break in the Garment District.
Seasonal events such as an ice skating rink are available at nearby Bryant Park in Midtown, NY.
