Very commercial right? Best things are proximity to department stores and Barnes/Noble. Traffic bunches up on 3rd approaching the Queensboro Bridge. Very easy access to other neighborhoods in Manhattan but not very neighborhoody itself.

Its not awful if you are on a high floor. Its very convenient for the NRQ & 4/5/6 plus two cross-town buses at 57th. And lots of grocery stores and such nearby. But it is VERY commercial.
