Upper East Side

The Upper East Side, set between Central Park and the East River, is the posh part of New York. It’s also where you’ll find some of the best museums in the city.

Upper East Side is home to 5th Avenue’s “Museum Mile”. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum are the star attractions, but there are many other museums and galleries to keep you busy for weeks. Head to Yorkville for hearty German food and East River views. Those with deep pockets can hit the boutiques of Madison Avenue or dine out in style.

"Very Accommodating with a roll away bed for a 1 night guest. Housekeeping was amazing. Two late night and an extremely early fire alarms was annoying. Lack of communication for first alarm was scary. Reasonably priced for NYC. Bonus with kitchen."
