Upper East Side, Residential district in Manhattan, US

The neighborhood stretches from 59th Street to 96th Street between Fifth Avenue and the East River, encompassing numerous prewar buildings and luxury townhouses.

During the 19th century, influential families such as the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Rockefellers established their residences in this section of Manhattan.

The Museum Mile along Fifth Avenue contains eight major art institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

The area combines residential buildings with numerous retail establishments, medical centers, schools, and direct access to Central Park's recreational facilities.

Gracie Mansion, located within Carl Schurz Park, remains the last surviving country villa from the early 1800s and functions as the residence of New York's mayor.
