Our Upper East Side Neighborhood Guide

The Agency Team • October 2, 2024

Welcome home to Manhattan’s capacious retreat—The Upper East Side. Whether you’re a local celebrity with a duplex overlooking the park, or a recent college graduate in need of a quick commute to midtown and access to plentiful local pubs, the Upper East Side is perfect for the New Yorker who wants to stretch out and live life easily. Somehow when you go outside, the sidewalks are wider, the parks are more playful, and the local landscape is a perfect blend of prewar co-ops, brand-new condos, and stately townhomes. Feeling outdoorsy? Running paths on the East River Esplanade and throughout Central Park offer plenty of opportunities to get some fresh air. In need of some culture? This neighborhood is home to Museum Mile and offers more than 14 of the city’s best museums. But for daily living, the appeal is the ease. Read on for our favorite places to eat, relax, shop and more.

WHERE TO PLAY
