A question for those familiar with the history and geography of New York: in 1964, when the Man from U.N.C.L.E. intro says that the tailor shop entrance to HQS is in the east Forties, what is that signaling, if anything, about the neighborhood?

A little north of what then would have been the happening part of the Lower East Side, which is now the East Village.
