Get the whole 9 yards mug.A neighborhood in Manhattan, New York. While previously known for its shipping docks and industrial nature, it has been built up and gentrified with tall all-glass luxury buildings within the last 10-15 years.
Many of these buildings have lots of nice amenities such as a washer and dryer in all units, dishwashers, fancy appliances, city views, gyms, pools, parking, and much more depending on the building. Lots of new young professionals live here and drop more of their paycheck than they should on fancy studio or one-bedroom apartments. Essentially the McMansion version of apartments. Super nice, but soulless and without any real history.
Some of the buildings: Sky, 555Ten, Atelier, The Eugene, Silver Towers, EOS, Waterline Square, etc.

Person 1: Yeah I live over in Hudson Yards at Sky. Sadly it's just an alcove studio on the 26th floor :(
Person 2: That's cool and all, but those places have no history and feel like a hotel room all the time. When you start making $$$ as an MD or President at Bank of America get a renovated brownstone. The best of both worlds: Old charm with new amenities.
