Wikipedia: Murray Hill, Manhattan
Murray Hill is a Midtown Manhattan neighborhood in New York City, United States. Around 1987 many real estate promoters of the neighborhood and newer residents described the boundaries as within East 34th Street, East 42nd Street, Madison Avenue, and the East River; in 1999, Frank P. Vardy, the demographer for the City Planning Commission, said that the traditional boundary is within East 34th Street, East 40th Street, Madison Avenue, and Third Avenue. The neighborhood is part of Manhattan Community Board 6.

The dreadful monstrosities would swing around and show their paste-board voids, and the fireworks gave such a prevoyance of the Fourth of July as to disgust the dainty noses of the Murray Hillers.

Murray Hillers turn to this “authentic French bistro” for “honest”, “traditional” “comfort cuisine” that’s “worth every calorie” — and every franc; the “congenial staff” and “understated”, “cozy” setting make it a fine date place.
