Upper East Side Travel Guide

New York

A busy city street with yellow taxis, pedestrians, and cyclists.
A modern bar with wooden tables and a wine display.
An ornate church interior with a central altar, high vaulted ceilings, and stained glass windows.
A modern lobby with a ceiling of circular lights, a large digital display, and a seating area.
Ornate stone balustrades with intricate carvings and a wrought iron railing.

The Upper East Side, set between Central Park and the East River, is the posh part of New York. It’s also where you’ll find some of the best museums in the city.

Upper East Side is home to 5th Avenue’s “Museum Mile”. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum are the star attractions, but there are many other museums and galleries to keep you busy for weeks. Head to Yorkville for hearty German food and East River views. Those with deep pockets can hit the boutiques of Madison Avenue or dine out in style.
