"Great street for chocolate"
The higher into the Upper East Side you go, the more the neighborhood caters to residents rather than tourists. That’s not to say that you can’t find a few businesses that cater to tourists on this street, especially toward tourist cruising spots like Fifth Ave by Central Park.
An interesting stop on this street is Debauve Gallais Chocolate, a shop that offers yummy (but expensive) truffles and bonbons.

"Easy transportation access"
The 6 train is a block away located on 68th and Lexington. Taxi cabs are always in the area. This is a high end residential neighborhood. Necessities are in walking distance and there are amazing upscale stores on Madison Avenue. The amazing Central Park is located on 5th Avenue. It is a really nice and quiet area. It’s pretty much a great street with easy access to just about everything. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from on 2nd Ave and they aren't as expensive as you would expect.
