For the last 25 years, I’ve lived in Tudor City, an apartment complex in Midtown East, located from 40th to 42nd Streets between First and Third Avenues. Tudor City is a series neo-Gothic buildings -- the first skyscrapers in the world.

I rent, but it's a mix of owners and renters. I love the neighborhood. It’s built on a granite cliff, so it's like a little village set above the rest of New York.

It’s also across the street from the United Nations building. Most of the time, the U.N. makes a pretty good neighbor, but there are a few drawbacks.
