Grocery stores, barbers, dry cleaners, and liquor stores are all within a walkable radius. Locals greet each other with a smile, and the area is the ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is easily accessible to three subway lines (4, 5, 6), and is just a walk away from Central Park. Carnegie Hill is the neighborhood for chic, high-end living.
