Upper East Side

Refinement, elegance and world-class culture define this New York City area, long regarded as Manhattan's premier neighborhood. For many class-conscious residents, there's simply no other place to live. Largely residential, the buildings are all well-preserved and the streets clean and relatively safe. Dotted between the luxurious apartments are some of the city’s finest museums and upscale shops.

Besides having Central Park as its backyard, Manhattan’s fashionable Upper East Side has long been synonymous with high society, old money, and exclusive clubs, restaurants, and residences. Indeed, the area’s famed main drags – Fifth, Madison, Park, and Lexington Avenues – are synonymous with wealth and excess

Take a stroll along Millionaires’ Row, a stretch of Fifth Avenue that runs adjacent to Central Park, and you’ll see block after block of magnificent brownstone homes, world-class hotels, posh boutiques, and elite department stores. When your head stops spinning, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, or the Frick Collection. If it’s nice out, you’ll want to visit Central Park’s Conservatory Garden, one of the cities most idyllic backdrops
