Turtle Bay, Residential neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, US

The district extends from East 42nd Street to East 47th Street between Second Avenue and the East River, featuring numerous residential buildings.

The area obtained its name from a natural cove along the East River where Dutch settlers established farms during the 17th century settlement period.

The United Nations Headquarters complex, established in the 1940s, brings together diplomatic missions and consulates from nations across the globe.

The neighborhood contains multiple subway stations, bus routes, and walking paths connecting residents to Grand Central Terminal and surrounding Manhattan districts.
