Last month, we started PRofiling different districts in the city. First was the Upper East Side which is where both M and I live. This month, we’re taking a look at the Flatiron District, a small area in Midtown named after the Flatiron building. If you’re ever in the area, consider stopping by these places…
TO SEE The Flatiron Building: The triangular must-see on 23rd and 5th is conveniently located across from Madison Square Park, home of the infamous long-lined Shake Shack. Plus, the park always has a new art exhibit.
TO EAT Eataly: A one-stop market, restaurant and bar all in one. Whether you’re craving fish, cheese, pizza, pasta, meat or veggies, each food group is divided into a different restaurant, plus a formal dining eatery Manzo and a now open rooftop brewery Birreria.
TO DESSERT City Bakery: Known for its hot chocolate and pretzel croissants (yes, pretzel croissants).
TO DRINK Flatiron Lounge: Take a break from dive bars and grab a martini at the Flatiron Lounge. Just don’t go hungry.
TO SHOP ABC Carpet and Fishs Eddy: Beyond shopping your typical mall shops (the strip on 5th Ave starting around 21st St.), consider checking out these home furnishing stores.
Have a favorite place in the Flatiron District? Please share.

I’ve only been to one place and will definitely check out the rest. I’d also add 230 5th rooftop to this list. Great place for happy hour.
One of our all time favorites. If we had a section “Best View”, 230 Fifth would take the cake.
Love your blog! I’m visiting NYC for the first time in 2 weeks, and I’ll stay tuned for great tips.
Happy to hear you’re visiting the city! Comment/tweet us at any time for NYC tips…
This is one of my favorite areas.. I used to work right on 23rd and Broadway. How could you leave out Shake Shack in Madison Square Park?!
I threw it in there! Can never forget Shake Shack…Xx
