searching for closer-to-home adventure and finally got into the grooves of the shops, eateries, and art spots beyond the standards. (Not that the “Museum Mile” will never get old.) The UES evokes images of designer names along Madison Avenue, tree-lined streets with elegant row homes, and museums bordering New York City’s grandest park, but there’s a lot of life nestled within the well-known boutiques and world-class institutions — like historic neighborhood businesses, pastrami sandwich counters, classic cocktails, old-school sushi joints, and enough architectural details to fill a weekend stay.

Names like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Schermerhorn, and Lenox—ones familiar to anyone traveling around the city today—all secured their spot at one time or another. What was once vast farmland became subdivided by NYC’s street grid in the 19th century. Subsequently, construction began on the first wave of iconic apartments and townhouses, many of which continue to captivate us today. Removal of elevated train lines in the 1950s opened up even more rarefied air for New Yorkers to occupy, but worry not: extensive subway service continues to run beneath these glorious streets. Elegant pre-war buildings.
