The
Upper East Side of Manhattan is the choice residential address for the rich in New York City since the turn of the 20th century. Many of the early mansions located here have today been converted into museums and art galleries although the wealthy still live in many of the apartments here.
Museum Mile, a stretch of 5th Avenue with the highest concentration of museums and art galleries, is also located within Upper East Side. A whole day may not be enough to visit every museum in this neighborhood.
