"Tennis Anyone?!"
Living on East 96th is what New York is all about. Riverside Park, known for its fantastic tennis courts, is in the vicinity for those that enjoy playing. This is also a great location for those that want to be near a hospital. You actually have two to choose from. On the west is Mt. Sinai Hospital and on the east is Metropolitan Hospital. Those who love to shop? Just a few block over is Park Avenue. I must admit the traffic was always pretty slow - probably because of the hospital? I would recommend walking for most anything.

"Not recommended really"
Welcome to East Harlem – this border street offers a loose division of the Upper East Side with East Harlem (or Spanish Harlem, if you prefer). This street is a big one – but seems relatively sparse, perhaps because of the size of the intersections it creates it lacks a sense of intimacy.
