57th Street is a broad thoroughfare in the New York City borough of Manhattan, one of the major two-way, east-west streets in the borough’s grid. As with Manhattan’s other “crosstown” streets, it is divided into its east and west sections at Fifth Avenue. The street runs from a small park overlooking the East River in the east to the West Side Highway along the Hudson River in the west. 57th Street passes through the Midtown Manhattan neighborhoods of Sutton Place, Billionaire’s Row, and Hell’s Kitchen from east to west.   read more…
