30th St Between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave

Continuing where we left off on Monday with the other street that flanks the previously-mentioned Kips Bay Towers. In many ways, this street shares a lot in common with 33rd. The contrast of the massive towers and the smaller apartments which sit across the street remains the same. However, it could be argued that the smaller buildings here are a bit nicer. They seem to mostly house small medical practices, while 33rd St's buildings were mostly run-down apartments.

NYU Medical Center still dominates the 1st Avenue side of things, while 2nd Avenue is over-taken by the mini Kips Bay strip mall. Plenty of restaurants and bars are available as well.
