- Upper West Side — North of 59th Street, bordered by the Hudson on the west and Central Park on the east. Mostly residential, with some museums and a good portion of the city's top high-end restaurants.
- Upper East Side - North of 59th Street, bordered by Central Park on the west and the East River. Ultra high-end residential, high-end boutiques, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and some decent restaurants.
- Midtown — Essentially the area between 59th Street and 34th Street. Tons of things to do, places to eat, and most of the tourist traps are also here. Solid place to stay because you can get to/from anywhere from here.
- Hells Kitchen - Basically "East Midtown", the area east of 8th Avenue. Mostly residential, though there are some decent restaurants and bars in this area.
- Chelsea — East of the Avenue of the Americas between 34th St and 14th St. Really swanky area, lots of outstanding restaurants, bars, nighlife, and residential.
