Upper East Side

New York

This part of Manhattan, the area between Central Park and the East River, has some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Park, Fifth, and Madison have always been posh avenues; whether in the gilded mansions of yesterday or the area's highrise modern apartments, old money and high society have long made their home here. Consequently, shops to serve them line Madison Avenue, while Baby Gap coexists with art galleries and antique shops. Further east, new money has overtaken the old Yorkville slum. Manhattan hosts some of the world's most famous museums and cultural institutions, and the string of them along Fifth Avenue is called "Museum Mile." The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Jewish Museum, and El Museo del Barrio are just a few, and they will be joined by the Museum for African Art in 2008.
