Easton is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in central Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
Easton was designed as such that a stretch of Bismarck Avenue terminates directly in front of the Grand Easton Terminal, at the intersection with Hematite Street. The massive structure in the background is the GetaLife Building, also within Easton.

Easton is bordered to the north by Jade Street (Lancet), to the west by Columbus Avenue (Star Junction and The Triangle), to the south by Garnet Street (Lower Easton), and to the east by Albany Avenue (Presidents City).
It is a primarily commercial area. The neighborhood is dominated by the massive Grand Easton Terminal adjoining the GetaLife Building, which spans from Columbus Avenue to Albany Avenue between Jade and Hematite Streets. The terminal, while not accessible by the player, serves as the major commuter hub of Liberty City, shuttling in businessmen and workers from the surrounding suburbs and locations all the way to the Midwest. Many outlets and stores can be found around the perimeter of the terminal, also making it a popular destination for local residents and shoppers.
The residential sector of the neighborhood is located along its southern face, featuring many hotels for visiting tourists and a few moderately-tall tenements.
Influence[]
Much of the neighborhood's key landmarks and buildings appear to be modeled after real-life buildings located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. This neighborhood also takes inspiration from Murray Hill. Much of the architecture is visually similar and the overall size is reflected.
