Talk:Turtle Bay, Manhattan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As someone who lives in Turtle Bay, I've always thought of 42nd Street as the neighborhood's southern boundary. The Turtle Bay Association website states the boundary to be 43rd Street, but the website itself is inconsistent on the point. Its list of "Places of Interest" includes Ralph Bunche Park and the Ford Foundation headquarters, each of which extends from 42nd to 43rd. In addition, NY Bytes uses 42nd Street. I've changed "43rd" to "42nd" but I'll admit that, like most NYC neighborhood boundaries, this one is somewhat subjective. JamesMLane 18:53, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The website was where I got the boundary information. I'm working in that neighborhood for the summer, and I've noticed that many buildings have "Turtle Bay" incorporated in some way in the name—are there any as far down as 42nd St? Postdlf 13:21, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No such businesses occur to me offhand. I have a very dim memory that, years ago, there was a "Turtle Bay" something-or-other around 41st Street, illustrating that businesses will take names that aren't always accurate. I think the best reason to stay with 42nd Street is that the UN is so commonly referred to as being at Turtle Bay. Drawing the line at 43rd would divide the UN site.

Well, we could say that it goes up to but not including 42nd St... 42nd St itself just seems of such a different character. Otherwise, the Chrysler Building is in Turtle Bay. Postdlf 05:07, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
