Upper East Side

The Upper East Side (UES) is one of the most popular and bustling neighborhoods in NYC. This area is east of Central Park and spans from East 60th Street to East 110th St. All types of demographics and age groups live here and either rent or own in all sorts of apartments such as high rise luxury buildings, or 4-story walk ups. Rent levels also vary based on location, but the Upper East Side has a place to live for everybody. Restaurants, shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, bus stops, and subway stations are prominent throughout the entire neighborhood. First, Second, and Third Avenues, for example, have some very popular restaurants such as Uva, Emmy Squared, Quality Eats, Penrose, and Jones Wood Foundry. The area also has some of the fancier shops and stores located along 5th Avenue and MAdison Avenue. The Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are also in the UES. Buses run north and south along these avenues and also East and West along 86th Street, 79th Street, 72nd Street, and 57th Street. Central Park can be easily accessible from any location in this area and Carl Schurz park is another park located in the northern most part that has basketball courts, dog parks, ferry service, and picnic areas. The number of subway stations also makes it easy to commute to work in Midtown, the Financial District, Hudson Yards, or in New Jersey.
