Refined Culture • Upscale Shopping • Quiet
Although this Central Park neighbor has an elitist, upper-crust reputation, don't let that intimidate you—just make sure you're dressed to the nines. Behold the luxurious brownstones, then swing around the corner for some upscale shopping at top-of-the-line department stores and luxury boutiques. Cultural experiences abound here too with world-famous institutions on Museum Mile, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim.
