Bookended by Central Park and the East River, the Upper East Side has become one of Manhattan's premier residential neighborhoods. Quiet, picturesque streets are lined with trees and the stunning architecture of classic New York brownstone buildings. The area is home to the infamous Museum Mile, which includes the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum. Even with fewer transportation lines than other neighborhoods, the Upper East Side has managed to sprout a number of wildly popular stores, restaurants and bars.
