At the entrance to the Flatiron District of Manhattan is the historic and unmistakable Flatiron Building. Pacific College, the city's first accredited school of Oriental medicine is just two blocks south. It is surrounded by fine restaurants, convenient markets, trendy boutiques, and local theatres.
