Where to Stay When Visiting New York Life (New York)
New York Life's headquarters is in Midtown Manhattan, on Madison Square. Pick the right district — and the right airport. In New York, the airport choice quietly decides the trip.
New York Life is the largest mutual life-insurance company in the U.S., headquartered at 51 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010. That's Midtown Manhattan — the Grand Central and Park Avenue core out to Sixth Avenue and Times Square, the densest business district in the country, where a hotel and a dozen headquarters can sit within a few subway stops.
“New York Life's landmark tower is on Madison Square. Stay in Midtown or NoMad nearby and walk up Madison to the gold spire.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
Three airports serve New York. LaGuardia (LGA) in Queens is the closest to Midtown — about 25 minutes and the domestic default. Newark (EWR) is roughly 35 minutes and often has the best fares. JFK, about 50 minutes southeast, carries the international routes. For a Midtown meeting, LGA is the short hop.
