From 59th to 96th Street and from the East River to Central Park is Manhattan’s Upper East Side.This section of New York City has some of the most expensive real estate in the nation and was once referred to as the “Silk Stocking District.”
During the late 1800s, Fifth, Madison, Park, Lexington, First, Second and Third Avenues were paved and wealthy New Yorkers flocked to the Upper East Side, building grand mansions on these picturesque streets and avenues.
