The Upper East Side, sometimes abbreviated UES, is one of the largest neighborhoods in New York City. Incorporating the several smaller neighborhoods of Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, and Yorkville, the affluent area up Fifth Ave, once named “Millionaire’s Row”, is home to some of the most beautiful townhouses and historical mansions from New York’s Gilded Age. The Upper East Side also hosts some of the world’s most famous museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, and The Cooper Hewitt.
