Vanderbilt Avenue is a short street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The street runs from 42nd Street to 47th Street, between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue. The street was created in the late 1860s as the result of construction of Grand Central Terminal, and is named for Cornelius Vanderbilt, the terminal's original builder.[1] The Yale Club of New York City is located on Vanderbilt Avenue, at the intersection of East 44th Street.
