57th Street Between Sutton Pl and 1st Ave

If you're rich, then there's a good chance you not only know this block, but you live here.  If you're not, then there's almost no good reason to have ever ventured down this way.  This is the sort of block where those "Taxi" lights in front of doorman buildings are actually used.  There isn't much in the way of commercial activity save for a Citibank, a pizza place, a drugstore and Sutton Wine Shop on the 1st Avenue side.  

The buildings here can be quite nice and offer up some beautiful detailing, but the double-wide street makes for a very cold and impersonal block.
