About

Welcome! This blog/site features the BEST of what the Upper East Side (UES).  Our sister site covers the Best of the Upper West Side (UWS). The idea for this site came from it taking way too long to discover true gems in these neighborhoods. And also from the unfortunate fact that some great, small, independent businesses and institutions have unfortunately closed their doors. This site/blog is dedicated to finding and featuring unique offerings in the area so more people can discover, enjoy, share and preserve what’s GOOD in our neighborhoods–the Upper West and Upper East Sides of Manhattan.
