The Mount Sinai Medical Center

Our Community: New York at Your Doorstep

We think that our address is one of the most exciting and inviting aspects of Mount Sinai. Attracting the best and the brightest, New York City offers an infinite number of possibilities to pursue cultural, intellectual, and athletic activities of all kinds. Whatever your interest, you will find it in abundance here. You are likely, as well, to find many new ones.

Historic Neighborhood

Home is Carnegie Hill, a notably quiet, residential neighborhood with tree-lined streets and classic brownstone buildings. A designated landmark district, which ensures that its human scale and relative serenity are well preserved, Carnegie Hill offers nearby boutiques, bookstores, cafes, restaurants, and public transportation to take you anywhere in New York City and beyond.

Central Park, beautiful in any season, is our front lawn and the perfect spot for a quick picnic lunch, relaxing respite, or jog around the Reservoir. Similarly, if you prefer bicycle riding, tennis, roller blading, ice skating, or horseback riding, you need only cross the street.

The Riches of City Life

Mount Sinai is located on "Museum Mile," the stretch of Fifth Avenue boasting ten of the country's leading cultural centers, including the world-famous Metropolitan Museum of Art. Below that lies the rest of Manhattan; the Broadway and off-Broadway theater districts; Lincoln Center, known for its opera, ballet, and symphony; Madison Square Garden; Greenwich Village; and Soho, where art galleries abound.

Helping acquaint you and your family with all that New York has to offer is Mount Sinai's Recreation Office. Here, staff will steer you in the right direction, answer questions and provide discounted tickets to concerts, plays, and sporting events, as well as shopping coupons, reduced-rate health club memberships, and vacation packages.
