Midtown East is cleaner than ever 🗑️✨

Over the past few months, Grand Central Partnership worked with the NYC Department of Sanitation to install eight new trash containers across the district as part of the City’s containerization mandate to keep garbage bags off streets and sidewalks.

The new containers are helping keep Midtown East cleaner and sidewalks more welcoming for everyone who walks through the neighborhood each day.

Thank you to Chief Frank Lettera and the New York City Department of Sanitation, New York City’s Strongest, for their support and hard work.

May is ! Japan Society was founded in 1907 as a cultural & educational institution, and as a forum for dialogue between Japanese & American business leaders. Their Turtle Bay, Manhattan headquarters was designed by leading Japanese architect Junzo Yoshimura

It is Yoshimura’s only work in NYC, and is likely the city’s earliest permanent structure designed by a Japanese citizen. This conspicuously serene work of late modernism reflects Japan’s unique architectural heritage, and was designated an individual landmark in 2011.
