In the heart of the concrete jungle, the Upper East Side curiously manages to offer a small-town ambiance.

Every corner, cafe, and park feels familiar, turning the colossal New York City into your very own cozy neighborhood.

Things to Do

The very lungs of New York City, Central Park, offers a refreshing break from the city's hustle. Whether it's a leisurely boat ride, a jog along its many trails, or simply lounging on the Great Lawn, it's the city's favorite retreat. On the other hand, institutions like The Met, Guggenheim, The Frick Collection, and Jewish Museum stand as guardians of art and culture, offering rich doses of history, art, and enlightenment.
 
Further enhancing the Upper East Side’s appeal are serene spots like Carl Schurz Park and John Jay Park. Both are ideal for relaxing picnics, playground adventures for the young ones, or a leisurely read under the shade.
