Midtown East is a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City that houses world-famous commercial buildings such as Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Station, and the Empire State Building.

The exact size of the Midtown area is disputed. Most agree that the core commercial area extends from 40th Street up to the southern edge of Central Park on 59th Street and from Third Avenue in the east to Ninth Avenue in the west, but some take a broader view and classify Midtown as the whole area of Manhattan in the 30s, 40s, and 50s between the Hudson and East Rivers. Midtown is sometimes broken into "Midtown East" and "Midtown West" or into more traditional neighborhood distinctions like Turtle Bay, Murray Hill-Kips Bay, Hell's Kitchen-Clinton, and others.

Midtown Manhattan is the busiest single commercial real estate district in the United States. The great majority of the city's skyscrapers, including most of its hotels and many apartment towers, lie within Midtown. More than three million commuters work in its offices, hotels, and retail establishments; the area also hosts many tourists, visiting residents, and students. Some areas, especially Times Square and Fifth Avenue, have massive clusters of retail establishments.

Other important sights in Midtown:

Museum of Modern Art
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Grand Central Terminal
New York Public Library
Chrysler Building
United Nations Headquarters
Carnegie Hall
Times Square
Shops like F.A.O. Schwarz on Fifth Avenue
