Flatiron District

Flatiron is more or less the "gap" between
Midtown and Lower Manhattan. It is mostly
commercial, but is not technically located in the
bustling Midtown commercial zone.  The famous
Flatiron building for which the district is named is
a small area in Midtown Manhattan.

This area has been referred to as the "Photo
District" due to the large number of
photographers' studios and associated
businesses located there.

Baruch College of the City University of New
York, is located on E. 23rd Street and Lexington
Avenue. The College sits on the former site of
the Free Academy (now City College of New
York), which was founded in 1847 and was the
first institution of free public higher education in
the United States. Baruch's Newman Vertical
Campus as well as the Zicklin School of
Business, the largest collegiate school of
business in the United States, are also located
on 23rd Street and Lexington.

Madison Square Park, a small green area with
an old-fashioned shake & burger stand known
as the Shake Shack, is located here between
Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue on 23rd
Street. Madison Avenue begins in the Flatiron
District at 23rd Street and runs north. Here is
also the "Toy District". A number of toy
manufacturers have trade showrooms in
buildings across from Madison Square Park, and
the headquarters of the Toy Industry Association.
Giving this area a bit of color are the Museum of
Sex and the Gershwin Hotel, both located on
27th Street. The Gershwin is a tribute to the late
pop artist Andy Warhol, and features some of his
art and memorabilia throughout the hotel.
Schools:  Please contact the school of
your choice to confirm if your child is
