It is rated as one of the safest neighborhoods in all of Manhattan. Each room has a color TV, and small kitchenette. Dishes and utensils are available, free of charge, so that you may have breakfast or other food in your room. Two blocks away on Broadway there are many food stores. Also, there are more than 30 restaurants within an eight block radius.
Cabs are nearby at all hours, three bus lines are nearby and a subway stop is three blocks away.
A parking garage is nearby, but there is free and safe parking on the street. Nearby are the Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History. All this and one of the most accommodating prices in the city. All in all, the Riverside Tower Hotel is one of the best bargains in New York.
