East 68 St, Upper East Side

This is a resident friendly street (actually, most streets on the Upper East Side are pretty resident friendly – probably because it costs so much to live there). It features a few restaurants, a hospital, and a pilates studio (it seems that there are a lot of yoga and pilates places in this neighborhood).

Another great residential area. Hunter College doesn’t overshadow the block, though the dollar signs on the real estate might. This is a residential area, so there isn’t much in terms of dining and entertainment, though convenience are available throughout the neighborhood. This street does have a park — Catherine Park ---- which is used by the local for dog walking and relaxing. A woman walking a collie told me that she, “wouldn’t live any place else in the city.” I wasn’t taken by the street, but others seemed to be. The 6 train is conveniently located at the east end of the street, and it is also a great place to catch a glimpse of Roosevelt Island.
