About Upper East Side
The Upper East Side's heart sits in the sweet spot between East 72nd Street and East 86th Street. However, this cinematic section of Manhattan also includes Lenox Hill along 59th Street, and on the northern end, the Yorkville and Carnegie Hill neighborhoods bordering East Harlem. The Upper East Side's calling card is Fifth Avenue running the whole length of Central Park. It's home to historic mansions once owned by the Vanderbilts — not to mention Museum Mile, where you'll find The Metropolitan Museum of Art and many more of NYC's best cultural attractions.
