The setting
The Lowell stands on 28 East 63rd Street between Madison and Park in Midtown, New York City. The Plaza is roughly 5 minutes' walk, and The Museum of Modern Art is roughly 10 minutes' walk. Midtown is the city's engine room after dark: towers emptying into theaters, steakhouse booths, and hotel lobbies that still know how to host a night. The grid runs at full voltage from Times Square to Fifth, Grand Central to the Park. 7-minute walk to 5th Avenue's shops.
