A hub of history and culture, the Flatiron District is one of New York's most vital and exciting neighborhoods. Boasting an impressive selection of fine and unique restaurants, popular shopping and outdoor spaces, the Flatiron neighborhood is a vibrant microcosm of the best New York City has to offer.

Bordered by Chelsea, Gramercy Park and Union Square, the Flatiron District was named after the dramatic, wedge-shaped Flatiron Building located on 23rd Street and Broadway, directly across the street from Madison Green. At the foot of the Flatiron Building is the new Pedestrian Mall, Broadway's latest outdoor plaza providing the perfect respite to sit, relax and take in the spectacular city vistas.

A wonderful mix of old and new, the Flatiron District combines the city's greatest historical treasures in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in NYC.
