One of Manhattan’s more upmarket neighbourhoods, the Upper East Side is known for its stately buildings.

If you enjoy visiting a great museum or prefer to go on a shopping spree, then this is the neighbourhood for you. The chic Upper East Side lies to the east of Central Park, where you can easily spend a day with your feet in the grass. A beautiful neighbourhood featuring some of New York’s finest museums, interspersed with classic mansions. The mansions were built in the last century, when fashionable New Yorkers flocked to this neighbourhood to build their luxurious private homes. Now they have been transformed into apartment blocks where a doorman welcomes you with a smile.
