If you’re sensitive to noise, plan for potential train sound because the building faces an elevated subway track; bringing earplugs can help.

Use the nearby subway connections to reach Midtown landmarks like Grand Central Terminal, MoMA, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square within a few kilometers.
