The Upper East Side (UES) along Central Park over its eastern part. Let us not mince words, the wealthy neighborhood of Manhattan . Moreover, since it lies just below English Harlem , the city's most deprived, the situation is not without interest. So, he creates a buffer zone which makes a diagonal 110th Str @ 5th Ave to 96th Str @ York Ave. The atmosphere is very nice, very reminiscent of the Upper West Side , but good as it should be aimed at is not very practical. Advantage: natural environment, since zero tourists. Also, in the one coming up from underground this side of the park, you can see at first glance the people who stop in the SIU (there are few, they prefer taxis, or limos), those who ascend to English Harlem or Bronx. Returning to SIU. the neighborhood, very clearly, do not present a major interest (outside the Museum Mile we have already seen). We see the beautiful mansions , buildings, churches . Nothing is really historically significant. It is a very nice area to hike there, and surely offers outstanding comfort to its inhabitants. But for fear of being bored to die, let the rich neighborhood for young couples (whose wife, while her husband bump, will walk their child or absence of Mojitos drink or will shop at Bloomingdale's ), diplomats (all embassies, consulates are there. As the French school, very popular), and Woody Allen (you can listen to the feel of clarinet, if you really do have it).
Instead, take the cable car friendly brings us (with a view to passing not trivial) to a forgotten corner of guides: Roosevelt Island. Look at a map, a small island, all in length, in the middle of East River . Friends live there and say it's heaven: quiet, low rents, views ... Specifically, it is a city of old, or it nothing happens (a mere 2 and 1 retaus Starbucks, take delivery is not possible here: one small bridge, to Brooklyn !), And it is very dependent on the single subway station and the cable to enter / leave the island. Paradise is earned! 
On the tip of the island is a mini park, disused kind, I'm falling in love. There is nobody, you are allowed a great view of Manhattan, and the hospital in ruins (which resembles more a fairytale castle than anything else) gives a charm to the place. Two weeks before my departure, I am still discovering magical places, and that is happiness.
