Upper East Side

When it comes to finding a destination that satisfies a vivid imagination and an adventurous spirit, New York City always delivers. Pay a visit to the Upper East Side for the proof. This neighborhood of Manhattan plays host to diverse geography, vivacious day-to-night life, ample means of transportation and 'Museum Mile,' a 5th avenue landmark featuring a string of marvelous museums. And that's just the beginning. This escape offers endless possibilities that are sure to please its explorers.

The Upper East Side has become an extremely desirable area. As a current resident, I have had the luxury of the total east side experience. When in the east side, you can explore trendy new shops, take strolls along the East River, visit a plethora of beautiful parks, or dine in highly-rated restaurants. It’s charm provides appeal to the young and the old.

"John Jay Park on 77th is open from 7-9 am for dogs only."

For those who have children or dogs, there are many well-manicured parks to enjoy. Dog owners can choose from three amazing parks. John Jay Park on 77th is open from 7-9 am for dogs only. Carl Schurz on 83rd and East End is a popular venerated park offering river vistas, multiple dog runs and playgrounds (and where my husband proposed to me!) Lastly, the magnificent Central Park adds to the east side charm.

There is something so enchanting about the Upper East Side. You could be strolling on Madison Avenue surrounded by beautiful brownstones or walking along the East River with bikers and dog owners. It truly can be whatever you want it be.

Year round on Saturday afternoons stop by the Farmers Market on 82nd and York, where you will find a dedicated following of shoppers. The 82nd Greenmarket wraps from a sidewalk into a church courtyard. A full range of products including fruits, baked goods, and cheese, locally caught fish, poultry, and meat are always prominently displayed.

"It truly can be whatever you want it be."

Hurricane Sandy left devastation for many who resided south of 58th Street. There was loss of heat, electricity, and in some cases water. Those forced to leave their homes moved into hotels or friends on the Upper East Side. This unfortunate situation presented opportunity to expose them to the gem of Manhattan. As construction began, new businesses developed drawing crowds to frequent their establishments. The stimulating harmony of residents and venues offer endless excitement as well as places for tranquility.

The enchantment of the Upper East Side is ready and waiting for you to share in its glory.
