13. Yeshiva University now owns the former offices of the National Review
East 35th Street in Murray Hill is the main campus of Stern College for Women, the undergraduate women’s college of Yeshiva University. The school offers degrees in humanities, sciences, social sciences, and Jewish studies, alongside a “Basic Jewish Studies Program” with courses in Hebrew, Bible, and Jewish Law. Established in 1954, the school now serves upwards of 2,000 students.
Yeshiva University purchased 150 East 35th Street, which was the former headquarters of the National Review, founded by William F. Buckley, Jr. Along with a location on Lexington Avenue, the National Review operated out of the East 35th Street location for a few decades. The offices were reportedly cramped and disorganized, but the popular conservative magazine got its start here.
