Welcome to part 2 of our video tour series dedicated to the Flatiron District, New York City, by New York Habitat (http://www.nyhabitat.com).
The Flatiron District is approximately bordered by 20th Street to the south, Sixth Avenue to the west, 26th Street to the north, and Lexington Avenue to the east.
In our first episode dedicated to the Flatiron District, we shared some history of the area, took you to Madison Square Park and the Flatiron building itself. You can find part 1 of this series here on the Blog or on our YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/NewYorkHa.... You can also find a lot of great videos about other neighborhoods such as Meatpacking District (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCLLwME15FU ) and Chelsea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLwjCDsdIrk&feature=related).
The Flatiron District is home so many museums and historical sites such as: The American Jewish History Museum (15 West 16th Street), The Robert R. Livingston's Masonic Museum and Library (71 West 23rd Street) and Museum of Sex (233 Fifth Avenue).
Shopping is definitely one of the most popular activities to do. Be ready because you'll find fantastic shopping locations lining many of the streets of the Flatiron District!
The food culture in the Flatiron District is also very diverse. You can get tapas at a bar, enjoy fine dining in a dimly lit restaurant, or experience the Original famous Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.
For truly unique dining experiences, here are a couple hotspots:
This Italian mega-market, Eataly, is found on 23rd Street & 5th Avenue. Inside there are separate restaurants devoted to meat, fish, vegetables, pasta and pizza, cheese and wine.
Perhaps you are in the mood for something a little more casual? Head over to Hill Country, an epic BBQ restaurant at 1123 Broadway, bar and marketplace that also serves as a live music venue for American Roots Music.
Other restaurants that should be on your list are: Craftbar (900 Broadway), Blue Smoke (116 East 27th Street) and Boqueria (53 West 19th Street)
If you want to save some money, it is always a good idea to rent an apartment from New York Habitat. Our apartments are more spacious than hotels and offer the luxury of a kitchen where guests can cook meals to save a few bucks compared to dining out.

The Flatiron District offers some very unique nightlife experiences as well. Here are a few that may pique your interest:
If you've got ping-pong skills, you'll definitely want to spend some time at SPIN NYC (48 East 23rd Street). This basement bar features over 15 signature cocktails, a creative food bar and lounge, and plenty of ping pong tables. Even if you're not playing, it's a great place to relax, have a drink, and listen to music.
Other fun nightlife stops are: The Flatiron Lounge inside the Flatiron Building, Slate Restaurant Bar and Billiards (54 West 21st Street), "230 Fifth", a roof top bar located at, you guessed it, 230 5th Avenue.
