Living in the heart of Manhattan means waking up in the middle of the action — and that is particularly true of the Midtown rentals at 555TEN. Located just north of Hudson Yards, 555TEN is the perfect starting place for any New York City adventure, especially if your interests include New York Knicks and Rangers home games or stadium-caliber music. That’s right, we’re talking about Madison Square Garden, the legendary Manhattan arena that has been at the center of the worlds of sports and entertainment since it opened in 1968. Keep reading for a rundown of the great live events taking place at MSG this season!

Winter is basketball and hockey season, and 555TEN is the perfect home for season ticket holders of NYC’s premier winter sports teams. The Knicks are in the middle of an exciting season, with some classic matchups on the horizon. See the Knicks take on their rivals: the Boston Celtics on Feb. 27 and the Brooklyn Nets on March 1. Then, come back later in the month to watch them host the Miami Heat. New York Rangers fans will also want to make routine visits to the Garden this winter as their team tries to climb to the top of their division, facing off against challengers, including the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 26 and the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 16. Madison Square Garden is also home to the NCAA March Madness East Regional Division Championships, making it the epicenter of sport on March 23 and 25.

When the Garden isn’t home to raucous crowds of cheering sports fans, it’s full of music lovers enjoying their favorite acts in person. First and foremost is musician and showman Billy Joel, whose monthly shows at MSG have become legendary. The “Piano Man” has racked up over 100 lifetime performances at the Garden, and his show on March 26 will mark his 88th monthly performance in a row. Other popular acts taking the stage at MSG in March include SZA, John Mayer, Muse, and many more. And, returning once again to his home turf in early April is none other than The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, along with the irreplaceable E Street Band.

All this and more can be found just a few blocks away from the Midtown Manhattan apartments at 555TEN. These stylish homes feature spacious interiors, modern appliances, a suite of residential amenities, including a rooftop pool, a dog run, and much more, all nestled in the heart of New York City.

New York City is one of the world’s most celebrated capitals of culinary excellence. From mom-and-pop gems frequented by locals in the know to world-renowned, multiple-Michelin-starred restaurants, the city has it all. Residents of the Midtown West rentals at 555TEN are fortunate to have Restaurant Row just around the corner, located on 46^th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. As its name suggests, this strip is replete with dining destinations, ideal for a stop before or after taking in a new Broadway show or for simply enjoying an evening out on the town.

From high-end sushi to favorite Broadway haunts, Restaurant Row has some of the city’s best options for delectable meals and distinctively New York City ambiance.

Barbetta, which is celebrating its 116th year, can boast the titles of the oldest restaurant in the Theatre District and the oldest Italian restaurant in New York. It’s also the oldest New York City restaurant still owned by its founding family, the Maioglios. Superlatives aside, this landmarked restaurant serves Piedmont cuisine from Italy’s northwestern region, including agnolotti and slow-roasted rabbit and polenta, in addition to its sweeping selection of Italian wines. Couple that with lush decor, including an 18-century Piedmontese chandelier in the elegant main dining room, along with private dining rooms and a garden patio.

Joe Allen is known as the perennial hot spot for Broadway insiders. Indeed, this Theater District mainstay has been featured in Hollywood films and is famously lined with posters of Broadway flops, including the show Kelly, whose cast first gifted the namesake restaurateur Joe Allen a poster of the one-performance show. Of course, Joe Allen is known for more than its theater-rich history, including classic American dining fare such as its Joe Allen burger, steak frites, and famous banana cream pie.

Finally, Sushi Seki has made a name for itself among the city’s high-end sushi restaurants, thanks to its sake sommeliers and fine cuts of fresh seafood. Sushi Seki’s special signature pieces include spicy scallop hand rolls, tuna with tofu sauce, red snapper with sea salt, and seared O-toro, among many more. But diners will likely find a satisfying meal choosing among any of the sushi pieces or hand rolls, paired with sake or wine to complete the meal.

With a wealth of options for fine dining along Restaurant Row, residents of the Midtown luxury rentals at 555TEN can dine out in style each night of the week. Contact the sales team to learn more.

As the cold weather and the holidays descend on New York City, there is no better place to reap the benefits of relaxing at home than at the Midtown West luxury rentals at 555TEN, where an unparalleled suite of amenities transforms home base into a realm of fitness, fun, and possibility.

Straight from Extell’s vision of rental amenities rivaling those of a luxury hotel, you’ll find standouts like a saltwater pool, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a bowling alley, a kids’ playroom, and a rooftop bar to help get you through the winter. With all this at your disposal, you’ll feel like you’re on a cruise — down to the water views — right in the heart of Manhattan.

To get a sense of how these carefully considered spaces can enhance your life, think of them as everyday fixtures that can offer extraordinary experiences to fit any mood. The travertine-lined pool is the perfect place to work out in the morning, but it can also be a calming spot for a relaxing dip on a Friday afternoon, when you might delight in frittering away the last hours of daylight with both a refreshing swim and a good book to read in a lounge chair by the calming saltwater.

The rooftop bar and lounge at 555TEN can be a lovely spot to host friends on a Saturday night, but it’s also an elevator ride away for a spontaneous glass of wine paired with a stunning sunset.

Organize play dates for the kids in the playroom, where they can bond with neighbors their own age and make lifelong friends, or find new activities to open their expanding worlds. For grown-up playtime, having access to an on-site bowling alley makes it easy to plan a party or even to turn a regular weeknight into a game night.

The fitness center means you have access to Peloton bikes, cardio equipment that can be programmed with your personal fitness profile, and the Nexersys Boxing Exergame, which not only keeps you fit but may become one of the most enjoyable stress relievers for the holidays — and beyond. With dedicated studio space for private use and group classes whenever you want them, you’ll have all the benefits of a communal, expert-led workout without the added hassle of a commute in the wintry weather. Drop in on a yoga class as needed, or make them a part of your weekday routine.

Renting in New York has never been this luxurious, thanks to the Extell touch at these luxury no-fee apartments in the heart of NYC, which redefines what it means to stay home for the holidays.

For many, the winter months mean it’s time to take the skis out of storage and gear up to hit the slopes. While New York may not be the state most skiers associate with a snowy skiing retreat, New Yorkers have plenty of options close to home for squeezing in a session — for everyone from those learning how to snowplow  on the bunny slopes to veterans tearing through double black diamonds. Residents of the Midtown West luxury rentals at 555TEN are conveniently located near the NYC Snow Bus, which offers chartered trips to some of the region’s most desirable skiing destinations, many of which are just a short distance from the city and ideal for a weekend getaway.

Just 90 minutes from New York City is Mountain Creek, which offers a series of packages that include bus trips, all-access lift tickets, rentals for snowboards or skis, or all-access packages that include rentals and lessons for beginners. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, there is on-site tubing. Mountain Creek boasts the area’s highest vertical and only All-Mountain Terrain Park, with 17 dedicated terrain park traits . There are four distinct peaks available, with night skiing options. Those who want a variety of activities can enjoy the zipline and alpine park roller coaster. Lodgings are available for overnight stays, with the requisite wood-burning fireplaces for warming up after a day in the snow.

Another nearby option is Hunter Mountain, which boasts the closest big mountain to the city, with three discrete peaks that offer skiers a range of terrains and difficulty levels. Windham Mountain, located within 200 miles of the city, offers 258 acres of skiable terrain, with 54 trails and six terrain parks. Windham also offers night skiing, where skiers can take a break by the campfire before getting back on the lift.

Whiteface Mountain offers between 500 and 750 acres, with terrain for cross-country as well as downhill skiers. The resort boasts the highest vertical drop in the Northeast, as well as being the only mountain with double black diamond backcountry for true experts. But with a choice of 87 trails, there are plenty of options for beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert skiers alike. Gore Mountain offers wide trails covering more than 500 acres, with plenty of terrain for a mix of skill levels and cross-country skiers. And a midpeak  rustic base lodge is the perfect destination for taking in views of the Adirondacks and Vermont while replenishing your energy for more skiing ahead.

With a wealth of skiing destinations to be discovered close to New York City, 555TEN can make it from the Midtown Manhattan apartments to the slopes in record time.

One of the best parts of living in NYC is being at the center of the world’s culinary universe.

From a high-end French restaurant to a grab-and-go panini paradise, get ready to explore and feast on some of the most delicious food in the city.

Le Rock | 45 Rockefeller Plaza

Anyone familiar with the dining scene in Manhattan knows that Frenchette is a must-visit for those in the know. Now, the team behind that modern classic has opened Le Rock in the iconic Rockefeller Center. The New York Times notes that with Le Rock launching this past summer, there’s no reason to head to Tribeca to get a fully “Downtown” dining experience. With nods to the building’s art-deco inspo, Le Rock is a throwback experience with unparalleled service and world-class food. While the decor is gorgeous, it’s the menu of haute dishes that really stands out. Start with a plate of rich garlicky escargot, then take your time as you indulge in the expertly seasoned duck aux épices.

Lodi | 1 Rockefeller Plaza

Close to Le Rock in Rockefeller Center is an atmospheric and tiny place that transports you to the spirited streets of cosmopolitan Milan. This piccolo cafe is modeled after those in that Italian fashion capital. Located right across the street from Rockefeller Center’s iconic skating rink, this is a great place to start an early morning with an espresso and a pastry or grab an aperitivo before you head to a big dinner after work. And don’t forget to try a signature panini—you won’t be disappointed.

Pebble Bar | 67 West 49th Street

If you’ve ever looked at Rockefeller Center from across 6th Avenue, you may have noticed two incongruous townhouses on either side of the colossal building. These holdouts have been around for well over a century and a half. The second and third floor of one of these historic buildings was once known as Hurley’s, a bar where the likes of Johnny Carson and David Letterman had a post-show tipple or two. Now you can join in the grand tradition and have a sip yourself at Pebble Bar, which occupies the former space of Hurley’s. Whether you want a handcrafted cocktail on the second floor or some tasty bites, like steak tartare or oysters, on the third, the Pebble Bar is the newest place to see and be seen.

A new, intimate theater and restaurant combo has opened in Manhattan West, mere blocks from the Midtown rentals at 555TEN. Dubbed the Midnight Theatre, this variety venue is already turning heads with its range of shows and the mouthwatering fare at its companion eatery, Hidden Leaf. Keep reading to learn more about this new destination in the heart of Manhattan.

The Midnight Theatre and Hidden Leaf are the brainchildren of creative director Warren Adcock, restaurateur Josh Cohen, and Cycle Projects, and the result is an immersive art deco-inspired theater replete with technology meant to bring the audience into contact with the performers. Projection mapping screens (with 270-degree coverage) surround the 160-seat audience area, while a diverse cocktail and five-course tasting menu delivers preshow tastes to pair with the entertainment, creating a sensory overload sure to leave audiences jonesing for more.

The lineup at the Midnight Theatre runs the gamut from comedy and magic to music and live podcast tapings, with more shows being added every day. Recurring events like the Midnight Theatre Soccer Club, where soccer enthusiasts can enjoy their favorite clubs facing off in style, and the Mingus Big Band Residency are sure to cultivate loyal fans, while the weekly stage magic showcase introduces new faces weekly.

The theater is far enough from Broadway to have its own identity while still being located close enough to the Theater District to take advantage of the area’s density of fine dining, though many audience members will likely choose to dine at Hidden Leaf, the venue’s sister eatery, where Executive Chef Chai Trivedi has concocted a menu that draws from many Asian influences. Open for lunch and dinner, Hidden Leaf offers dishes inspired by cuisine from locales as diverse as Vietnam, Myanmar, and Laos, as well cocktails by mixologist Iain Griffiths, whose new permanent home is behind the bar at Midnight Cafe, the venue’s street-level cocktail bar.

Together, the Midnight Theatre, Hidden Leaf, and Midnight Cafe represent a new way to spend the after-work cocktail hour with friends, grab a bite to eat, and settle in for a sidesplittingly funny night of entertainment. And, of course, residents of the nearby Midtown Manhattan apartments at 555TEN can swing by for lunch, thanks to the venue’s proximity. Check out the Midnight Theatre’s calendar to identify which shows you want to see. Then check out the available rentals at 555TEN and put this exciting venue just a few blocks from home.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Winter Village at Bryant Park, the annual ball drop in Times Square—Midtown Manhattan is synonymous with the holiday season, and residents of the rentals at 555TEN couldn’t be in a finer spot to enjoy NYC’s festive revelry.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

One of the most iconic events on the NYC calendar, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade wends its way from Central Park West to the famous Macy’s department store on November 24 in a cavalcade of colorful floats, marching bands, dancers, and circus performers. From your Midtown luxury apartment, you’re in prime position—less than a 15-minute walk from the parade route on 6th Avenue. In 2022, keep your eyes peeled for new balloons in the shape of Stuart the Minion and Bluey, as well as beloved classics like Astronaut Snoopy.

Winter Village at Bryant Park

Once again, Bryant Park is transformed into a winter wonderland, bristling with cozy igloos, a curling cafe, and a European-inspired open-air market selling everything from mulled wine to artisan crafts. At the heart of the Winter Village at Bryant Park is a 17,000-square-foot rink where you can watch professional shows and take to the ice yourself—bring your own skates, and you don’t pay a dime. Seeing as the park’s just 15 minutes away from 555TEN’s Midtown West apartments, it’s probably time you bought a pair!

Hudson Yards New York

Not only is Hudson Yards a wonderful place to do your festive gift shopping, but it’s also hosting a myriad of seasonal events this November and December, including cookie decorating, photos with Santa, performances from the New York City Gospel Choir and Brooklyn Ballet—and even hip-hop-dancing toy soldiers! The centerpiece of this year’s enchanting celebrations is Shine Bright, an installation of two million lights, making the neighborhood shimmer—with a glittering 32-foot hot-air balloon “floating” among the shops.

New Year’s Eve, Times Square

The New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square is broadcast on screens the world over, but residents at 555TEN need only walk a few blocks to see it in real life. This year, be in the thick of the action yourself by either making your way to Times Square around 6 pm for the beginning of the celebrations or booking yourself into one of the VIP parties taking place around the neighborhood and seeing in 2023 with cocktails, canapes, and delicious views of Midtown NYC.

With a Midtown West apartment rental, you’re in the heart of all these holiday happenings and many more. Speak to the 555TEN team today.

Residents of the Midtown luxury rentals at 555TEN live a mere two blocks away from the Hudson River Greenway and its host of trendy new features. From the shopping and entertainment paradise at Hudson Yards to the iconic High Line, strolling along the West Side of Manhattan has never been better. One new addition to this stretch of Manhattan, the futuristic-looking Little Island public park, opened to visitors last year and has been slowly gathering acclaim as more New Yorkers explore its meticulously landscaped 2.4-acre grounds. Keep reading to learn more about this unique patch of greenery suspended above the waters of the Hudson River.

Little Island began as the dream of English designer Thomas Heatherwick, whose Vessel has been turning heads in Hudson Yards since its installation. In a New York tradition that produced enduring civic institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Heatherwick’s proposal was picked up and championed by billionaire philanthropist Barry Diller, who guided the project through a lengthy approvals process and has pledged hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money to pay for the park’s upkeep.

Heatherwick’s vision called for a grassy park perched on columns that create a visual continuity with the pylons that hold up the piers stretching out into the river from the shore. The columns, which expand into tulip shapes as they rise from the waves, are arranged at various heights, creating a park that features a central hill, on top of which visitors can get a panoramic view of the surrounding city and river, as well as a low point where an amphitheater looks out over the water. The plantings were planned and executed by Signe Nielsen, a cofounder of Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, and the dense foliage masks the park’s artificial base and transports visitors into an atmosphere like a grassy plain or wooded glen.

The central hill features a crow’s nest, while the amphitheater has a rotating schedule of concerts and dances, many of which are, like entry to the park itself, free of charge. Ample play space and winding paths make Little Island a great place for a family outing, while the lofty crow’s nest will serve as the backdrop for many a romantic moment. When you’ve taken in the sights that Little Island has to offer, head back inland and take the High Line north back to your spacious Midtown Manhattan apartment at 555TEN.

Oktoberfest is not just a German celebration of—and with—beer but a state of mind that erupts every fall in certain corners of New York City. Luckily for residents of 555TEN, Midtown West is one of the hot spots where the uncannily perfect combination of beer and autumn weather can be yours all month long at these standout local bars, all of which feature some of the most sought-after craft beers in the city.

Beer Culture is just what its name says—a place where drinking beer is so much more than an act of refreshment. It’s a world unto itself (with a menu of October activities). This month, for example, the brewer of Westmalle Dubbel is making a visit to meet and greet people at the bar. For more of that European flavor, you’ll find Duvel, a classic strong beer from Belgium, and Brussels Calling, which features notes of malt, citrus, and spice. 

Beer Authority, just steps from Times Square, has the perfect setup for a true Oktoberfest celebration in New York, thanks to its three floors of space in which to toast your pints and relax with friends for a beer and a bite after work and a rooftop space where you can while away the weekend hours with a pint or two and a full menu. Pair a Brauerei Reissdorf Kölsch with a NY Strip Steak or a platter of sliders for the table, and you’ll be ready for more rounds well into the evening.

As Is NYC is featured both on the Infatuation and Time Out New York’s lists of best beer bars in the city, and it’s easy to see why. As the Infatuation has it, “​​If you spend time in Hell’s Kitchen or the Theater District, it’s important that you know about As Is. It’s a busy spot with hardwood floors and potted plants, and it’s perfect for a first date, a drink before a show, or a meeting with your local run club (which is something we’ve definitely witnessed here).” It turns out the bar does, in fact, have its own run club, with beer- and food-filled celebrations at the finish line, which could be an interesting twist on Oktoberfest (or on your work/play balance all year long). But for a truly luxurious Oktoberfest beer tasting with a real New York edge, come to this elegant spot for a Swords and Gourds Pumpkin Ale with some roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, and the spirit of the season will be coursing through you in no time. 

With its wood paneling and old-school light fixtures, Midtown’s District Tap House offers an Oktoberfest experience as a midcentury New York tycoon might have designed it, with a plentiful food menu and beers like the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen that all alone will turn you into a regular. 

Then there is Hellcat Annie’s Tap Room, a place that straddles all the best of Hell’s Kitchen, past and present, and offers you a chance to cozy up to the season in an environment that captures the essence of your neighborhood at 555TEN, where the beer is as plentiful and varied as the rainbow of falling leaves by the river near these Midtown West luxury apartments.
