Upper East Side

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
