The Upper East Side of Manhattan is the area that stretches from 59th street to roughly 96th street between 5th Avenue and FDR Drive. It is one of the most residential area in the city and is known to be home to the "elite." It's full of fancy brown stones and high rises and has most recently been made famous in the television series "Gossip Girl." As a resident, however I am sad to say that is only a small percent of the neighborhoods population in reality. But there are many benefits to living on the Upper East Side. It is in very close proximity to New York City's Central Park which is a very good place to go for a quick jog or a nice stroll during a day of good weather.
