the Flatiron District, one
of Manhattan’s most
distinctive areas, situated
centrally between 20th
Street, Greenwich
Village, and Union Park.

3.  The district takes its name from the historic
Flatiron building, a Beaux-Arts structure that
was built in 1902 and has a unique wedge-
shaped footprint that fits perfectly into the
intersection of 22nd Street, Broadway, and
5th Avenue. The neighborhood became a
shopping epicenter of New York during the
early 20th century, with hubs including The
Old Fifth Avenue Hotel and the “Ladies
Mile” of specialty shops and department
stores.

4.  Following a half-century of relative neglect,
the Flatiron District has emerged in the past
three decades as one of Manhattan’s most
vibrant neighborhoods. The area is home to
numerous advertising agencies, as well as
nightclubs, eateries, boutiques, and
residential properties. One of Whitney
Warrington’s favorite Flatiron destinations is
Madison Square Park, which hosts a variety
of art exhibitions and concerts throughout
the spring and summer months.
