The Upper East Side is currently one of the most interesting and lively areas of Manhattan, particularly between 72nd and 86th Streets. Not only to live there – many young families have moved from Downtown because of the high quality of the schools – but also to spend a holiday in a less touristy and more residential, but lively and vibrant New York.<\/p>\n

I have chosen it for years, both for my home and my hotel, The Mark. Among the many reasons to love it is its proximity to Central Park, a constantly changing film scenery that never bores: from the Bridle Path, already painted by Edward Hopper in 1939, where one can walk or ride a horse, to the Reservoir, the lake where many New Yorkers jog or cycle, and it is pleasant just to watch the play of light on the water.<\/p>\n

I live opposite, in a 1930s townhouse designed by SheltonMindel, with European-style interiors by interior designer Christian Liaigre. The Mark hotel is also a neoclassical building from 1927, with an aristocratic touch and more contemporary interiors designed by Jacques Grange, such as the black-and-white striped marble floor, which is almost hypnotic and immediately became a symbol. I often go to the hotel at the weekend, if only for a coffee. During the Met Gala, The Mark was an epicentre: after the ceremony everyone went to the lobby for an after party of hot dogs and chips until 1am.<\/p>\n

My lunches on the Upper East Side are at Three Guys for a burger, a salad or a Greek speciality, or at Sant Ambroeus Madison, a classic of Italian tradition in Manhattan, as is Elio’s: I love its pasta, such as tagliatelle paglia e fieno and ravioli, among its signature dishes. Sometimes, for a quick American lunch, I stop by E.A.T. on Madison.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoons, on the other hand, are often dedicated to shopping. I really love Nili Lotan, an independent designer who creates easy to wear, functional yet stylish clothing, and I sometimes go to Bergdorf Goodman, at 66th and Madison, which remains an important shopping centre for luxury goods. I also like Zitomer, smaller and less well-known, where you can find a little bit of everything, from accessories to perfumes, from homeware to beauty and care products for men as well. As for the better known brands, I often buy from Prada, Loro Piana and Tom Ford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Upper East Side is currently one of the most interesting and lively areas of Manhattan, particularly between…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-244904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
