Murray Hill is a neighborhood on the east side of midtown Manhattan named for 18th century residents Robert and Mary Murray. In 1999, Manhattan Community Board 6 defined Murray Hill as the part of Manhattan east of Madison Ave. between 34th and 40th St. For this page, we will include venues east of Fifth Ave. between 34th & 42nd St. Points of interest include the Morgan Library & Museum, Scandinavia House, and Grand Central Station.
