Sutton Place

Sutton Place is a posh neighborhood within the Upper Midtown of Manhattan, New York City. It comprises elegant low-rise apartments and townhouses by noted architects. Until the rich and famous descended on this area, Sutton Place used to be filled with factories and tenements.

Today 3 Sutton Square is the residence of the secretary-general of the United Nations. The neighborhood also includes Riverview Terrace, a private street with brownstone houses. There is a small park at 55th Street which goes all the way to 57th Street. From here, you can get views of the Queensboro Bridge.
