Upper East Side
Upper East Side
 Laying to the East of Central Park, the Upper East Side is generally considered the most expensive residential area in the country, and has more of a conservative business atmosphere than the Upper West Side. However, you might find that the rental rates here are actually lower than those in the more trendy downtown neighborhoods. This is mainly the result of the fact that subway transportation is less convenient here compared to the Upper West Side, causing prices and general living expenses to fall a bit as one moves east of Third Avenue. However, there is a main subway line that runs down Lexington Avenue that will take you from the most northern tip of the island to the most southern tip.
 The area is still known for being the "Silk Stocking District,” packed with the most elegant marble-faced townhouses built by wealthy magnates like the Astors and the Tiffanys in 1880-1900s. It offers the highest concentration of museums outside of Washington, D.C. It is here that you will find The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. In addition, it is also safe to say that if you are fond of fine dining or haute couture, the Upper East Side will satisfy even the most demanding tastes.
