Upper East Side

The Upper East Side is a predominately residential, high income, high density area in Manhattan. Most homes are 6-8 story apartment blocks, and there were less businesses than in most of Manhattan. The businesses that were here were mostly fancy clothing stores and indie coffee shops. Due to its proximity to the Met and Central Park, a large number of tourists pass through the neighborhood. The neighborhood also sports a few hospitals, and most people who live here are upper class. The Lexington Avenue Line of the NYCTA Subway passes through the neighborhood.
