Patient Travel Planning

Along the banks of the East River, in Midtown Manhattan, resides the Kips Bay Neighborhood, home to NYU Langone Medical Center and several other hospitals, colleges, and universities. It lies just south of Murray Hill, north of Gramercy and Union Square, and a short trip to Greenwich Village, the Empire State Building, and Grand Central Station. Kips Bay is close enough to Broadway and Times Square that visitors can get tickets to experience the world-famous performances. But don’t confuse the real Broadway with Broadway Alley in Kips Bay; this private alley was simply a connector to the East River and, famously, the last unpaved street in Manhattan. Chester A. Arthur, the 21st U.S. President, lived at 123 Lexington Avenue throughout his time as President and Vice President. His home was used to host the 1881 presidential inauguration and is the last surviving building in the city to have hosted such an event.

The weather in New York City is seasonal, ranging from cold and snowy winters to hot and humid summers. Don’t forget to check the weather a few days before you visit.
