"Carnegie Hill Highlight"

For those who can afford its spotless pre-war co-ops, Carnegie Hill is the ideal family neighborhood. This charming enclave of Old World sidewalk cafes and niche boutiques still gathers regularly for "neighborhood" events, like the annual Christmas party at the neighborhood Corner Bookstore (which still boasts a hand-chosen stock and a local inquisitive cat), or weekly brunches at haute-diner Three Guys or nautical-themed upmarket Island. The area has much to recommend it, from the incredible restaurants (in addition to Island, Bistro de Nord on Madison and 93rd Street and the adjacent Vico's are two other recommendations) to the proximity of some of the city's best schools (Spence, Nightingale, and St. Bernard's, while the East End Avenue schools of Chapin and Brearley are just a short walk away) and places of worship (the synagogue on Madison and 87th, Heavenly Rest Church on 90th and Madison). East 90th street falls in the heart of Carnegie Hill, although it gets steadily more laid-back as it heads further east, towards the Asphalt Green sports centre and bicycle path. While night owls might decry the cozy atmosphere of this street and neighborhood, families with children (and spare dough) will find the ideal NYChome here.
Pros
  • Great schools
  • Great dining
  • Great neighborhood feel
Cons

"Quiet street - great for anyone 40 and up"

This street is part of a great old neighborhood that is picturesque, quiet, but maybe isn’t the most fun street for tourists. I personally prefer downtown for partying – but streets like this one cater to an older crowd, so if you’re beyond the drunken days of your twenties, and would just like to eat out with your family and call it a night, streets like this one may appeal to you.
The businesses on this street mostly cater to residents, though, but there are many restaurants and shops in the vicinity.
