THE UPPER EAST SIDE

A STORIED PAST

Manhattan’s Upper East Side has long been a neighborhood synonymous with distinction. Minted by elites who settled there at the turn of the century, the neighborhood’s fashionable imprimatur is known worldwide. Attracted to the newly completed Central Park, The Vanderbilts, the Fricks, and the Whitneys marked their arrival with stately townhouses and mansions built by some of the foremost American architects.

In this era of great patronage, inspired by the cosmopolitan capitals of London and Paris, the Upper East Side flourished as the home to many new cultural and civic institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The National Academy Museum, and the Seventh Regiment Armory.

In the rows of Italianate brownstones, Beaux Arts mansions, limestone apartment buildings, and grand museums that line its blocks, the neighborhood’s storied architectural pedigree remains evident from every vantage.

CENTRAL PARK

Central Park has been one of New York City’s defining features since its completion in 1873 with its 843 acres of landscaped lawns, sylvan groves, and playgrounds providing endless respite from the city bustle.

With 58 miles of winding trails, residents can access some of the park’s most beloved destinations including The Great Lawn, The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, The Delacourt Theater, and The Loeb Boathouse.

Central Park’s 79th Street Transverse creates a direct connection to Lincoln Center’s New York City Ballet, and Metropolitan Opera, as well as the Theater District’s world-renowned Broadway productions.
