East 92nd St, Yorkville

East 92nd Street is a great place for an Jewish person looking for a fun and educational experience. That goes without saying that anyone can have a good time there as well. There are many hotels, shops, and dinning areas within a few blocks. However the two great places there are the Jewish Museum and the 92nd Street Y. The Jewish Museum is a wonderful place for anyone trying to learn about Jewish history, art, ritual, and culture. They currently have exhibitions on contemporary Jewish art and design, secular and religious video, culture and its continuity, and much more. The 92nd Street Y is a Jewish founded and based organization that has a lecture hall, a performance space, a school, a health center, and more. There mission is to help all people who their doors. They do this by holding all kinds of events and fundraisers. I would strongly recommend visiting both of these places to anyone.

If it seems like there are a lot of both Italian and French restaurants on the Upper East Side, it’s because there are. This street is not an exception – you can find both of these options at Ciao Bella Café and Table D’Hote. But if you’re getting a little tired of both country’s palates, you can find a Brazilian restaurant on this street: Zebu Grill.

92nd street, on the east side has a healthy community feel to it. On the corner of 92nd and Lexington the 92nd Street Y offers programs for children and adults alike. Potential residents might prefer to stay away from the far east end. The avenue ends at the FDR and can be very loud and obtrusive and rather far from the public transportation system. Closer to the center 92nd street meets Central Park, near the reservoir which offers beautiful views, but obviously high rents due to it's proximity to the park and 5th avenue.
