As you enter the foyer, you see the expansive living room and attached dining room with a beautiful lighting system that can be controlled through an app on your phone or a panel on the wall. This system also controls the temperature, music, television and mood lighting which can all be set up remotely. The beautiful oak flooring stretches to the edge of the rooms where the views spill into the East River, the United Nations compound and the iconic Pepsi sign against the Long Island City high-rises.

The dining area has a great window seating area, while the kitchen has an adjacent breakfast bar or eat-in area. The kitchen is very large with plenty of storage and appliances and has two entrances for convenience of flow.

Well-dressed staff welcome you on either end with a concierge stationed in the center of the main floor.
