The Carlyle (Visit this link)

A grand and well-located hotel for those who adore shopping, The Carlyle also excels for those who adore service. With 400 full-time staff for just over 180 rooms, you can have someone attending to specific culinary desires while your small dog is walked in nearby Central Park and your bags unpacked from a long day's stroll up and down Madison Avenue. Not surprisingly, there is a spacious fitness center and spa with personal trainers and masseurs on demand. And if you fall in love with the city, and this level of service, cooperative apartments are available.

Stuyvesant Town

Stuyvesant Town, large brick buildings that run from 14th to 20th Streets, from First Avenue to Avenue C, are a mess of functional residences that were originally built in 1943 to house returning veterans of the Second World War and their families. They have gone on to house middle-income New Yorkers in 8,757 apartments. Stuyvesant Town and its sibling Peter Cooper comprise eighty acres that house more than 25,000 residents--and were sold on October 18, 2006 to Tishman Speyer for $5.4 billion dollars. New Yorkers are aghast that one of the last bastions of affordable housing will soon be converted to yet more luxury rentals. One might read a brief history of Stuyvesant Town on Wikipedia and note that in its creation in 1943, the project displaced 11,000 residents along with their business, schools and churches.
