The
Upper East Side
North of 59th Street and east of Central Park is some of the most
expensive residential real estate in the city--and probably the world.
This is New York at its most gentrified: Walk along Fifth and Park
avenues, especially between 60th and 80th streets, and you're sure to
encounter some of the wizened WASPs and Chanel-suited socialites that make
up the most rarefied of the city's population. Madison Avenue to 79th
Street is the monied crowd's main shopping strip, recently vaunting ahead
of Hong Kong's Causeway Bay to become to most expensive retail real estate
in the world--so bring your platinum card. You can also use it to stay at
one of the neighborhood's remarkably luxurious hotels, such as the Carlyle
or the Mark, or to dine at four-star wonders like Le Cirque 2000 and
Daniel.
The main attraction of this neighborhood is Museum Mile, the stretch of Fifth Avenue fronting Central Park that's home to no fewer than ten terrific cultural institutions, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim, and anchored by the mind-boggling Metropolitan Museum of Art. But the elegant rows of landmark townhouses are worth a look alone: East 70th Street, from Madison east to Lexington, is one of the world's most charming residential streets. If you want to see where real people live, move east to Third Avenue and beyond; that's where affordable restaurants and active street life start popping up.
A second subway line is in the works, but it's still no more than an architect's blueprint. For now, the Upper East Side is served solely by the Lexington Avenue line (4, 5, 6 trains), so wear your walking shoes (or bring taxi fare) if you're heading up here to explore.
The Upper East Side stretches from 59th Street to 96th Street, including Lennox Hill and Yorkville. Its western boundary is Central Park; its eastern boundary is the East River. Major sights include Central Park, Museum Mile (Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum, Whitney Museum and more), Gracie Mansion and six historic districts.
