The Flatiron district of Manhattan is a destination for the curious and artistic
So called for the building constructed in the shape of an old style flatiron on 23rd street, the Flatiron district of Manhattan has experienced new life beginning in the mid-1980’s. When properties were being sold for residential purposes, many restaurants followed the crowd. As a result, real estate brokers needed a name for their advertisements, and “Flatiron” stuck.  This area has become (relatively, recently) home to publishing and internet companies. 

Many known landmark buildings located here, in addition to the Flatiron Building, is the Pan Am Building and Met Life Tower.
