    The UES is massively expensive, however there’s a stylistic and drastic change between The 5th/Madison/Park/Lexington Avenue section and the 3rd/2nd/1st/York Avenue section. Once you get to 3rd Avenue it’s a lot younger, rents are actually somewhat reasonable for Manhattan, and the vibe is a lot accessible and “normal”

    • @yourhollywooddream

      Exactly right! I went to high school on the UES and definitely it’s relatively affordable from 3rd Avenue east; and unaffordable from Lexington west.

    Yes, there’s money in the UES but ironically some of the cheapest rent in Manhattan is also there lol. All the young people want to be in other neighborhoods and downtown. Covid came and even a lot of those people moved to Brooklyn. East side of UES is what we call “yopros” young professionals and bros. Our luxury building in a quiet/popular Brooklyn neighborhood had a LOT of manhattanites move in during covid, it will be interesting to see how the trends move going forward. UES has a lot of older housing stock and I think developers will have a hard time offering the amenities renters want nowadays. To buy, believe it or not you might be able to get some value out of the UES right now.

    When I was in New York in 2002, I got lost (because I took the wrong subway), and I had to cut through these neighborhoods to get to my hotel (the Hotel Beacon). It felt so safe and people were very helpful directing me to where I needed to go. I love the charm and the vibe and aesthetics of that area. This video was also great because you had a local, so it wasn't just a tourist viewpoint.

    Jon, as always, nicely done video. Yea, the brownstones on the upper east side are historical treasures that will hopefully be preserved in the coming decades. Gracie Mansion is a very unique site in the city. While I'm not a fan of it's current occupant, its not often you see an 18th century private home in the middle of midtown. I'm glad you included a food component. The egg & caviar appetizer looked absolutely delectable. The Ramen entree was a pleasant surprise as well. Keep up the good work as always and the best of holidays to you and your family.

    Before moving to the UES, I had this preconceived notion that much other New Yorkers had about it being snobby etc. To sum things up, UES is a cleaner/safer version of Manhattan. Its filled with young professionals east of 3rd Avenue, the old money folks live west of Lexington Ave. The biggest pros living in UES is access to Central Park, Carl shruz park, clean, safe, and nightlife on 2nd Ave for young professionals. Biggest con is the lack of diversity of people. Better for 25-35 year olds than 18-25.

FYI when I made the reservation, I let them know that we discovered them because of you. Hopefully, you get credit somehow. :-) Have a great last few days of 2021 and a SUPER-GREAT 2022! :-)

    The last time I was on the UES was 2007 and walked on Lex and found a German restaurant and deli that served the most amazing schnitzel. That things was as big as my head and damn expensive too. And I bought some liverwurst back to LA for my dad. Along with the Zabars freshly ground coffee I always wondered if my checked in luggage drove the screening dogs mad. 😄

    She is so hitting on him! It was so obvious at 7:16 when she made her aphrodisiac comment at the restaurant. Notice how she laughs and then flings her hair with her hand immediately afterwards. This is what women typically do when they feel that there's sexual tension. 😘

    The same thing is happening in London where I live and grew up, as is occurring in New York City.. Rich millionaires and some billionaires that dont even pay tax or use tax loopholes to pay virtually no tax come to New York and purchase the property as a summer holiday home or use it as an investment on the property market without even living there most of the year, thus pushing house prices and rental prices up so that even proffesional middle class people cant afford to live in areas that were once affordable those on low salaries then get pushed further away from the heart of the city, ie, Mahattan and Downtown Brooklyn in NYC and in London in would be zone 1 and 2 which includes Central London and West London and inner London. West, Central and South West London have always been pretty wealthy places but even many neighbourhoods the poorest part of London which is the East side of London is starting to become too expensive due to gentrification. Yes like NYC in places like Williamsburg, Bed Stuy and Harlem have become safer, like some neighbourhoods in London that used to suffer alot with crime, knife crime and even some gun violence between gangs, yes even London in the 90s and early 2000's had an issue with gun violence in certain rougher neighbourhoods due to the poverty and drug trade,although most homicides in London are caused by stabbings, for UK standards although not as bad as NYC even does today. Now the roughest parts of London are further away from downtown/ Central London and the same thing will prob happen to NYC where anywhere close to Manhattan becomes a rich persons playground and many of the original tennants will be completely pushed out unless they make at least 100k a year.

      Same thing has been happening in Vancouver over the last couple of decades with all the hot money coming out of Hong Kong and mainland China. Governments at every level have their snouts in the cash trough and could care less about Canadians who can no longer afford to live where they're born.

      Its true I am live in New York, but can't believe how Brixton (London's version of Harlem) has changed over the last 20/25 years. Gentrification is world wide.

    Do you know if the holiday markets (union square and others) are open on Christmas Day? I looked online and I can’t find a definitive answer.
