[quote=Anonymous]A vote for the UES. The UWS is great but is a little less neighborhood-y than the UES and, ime, has more tourists.

East side is quiet, has great schools (you've got all the privates and PS 6), great playgrounds (the Ancient Playground right next to the Met is wonderful, as is John Jay park - it even has a pool), Central Park and Carl Schurz (which is one of the loveliest parks in NYC imo). It's also very kid-friendly. So many kids events (Haloween parades, carnivals, etc.) and has about all of the after school activities you could want. You also have the 92nd Street Y.

Restaurant scene is definitely better than it once was. You have all of the fancy places but there are a ton of cooler restaurants. A few recs: Hutch and Waldo, the Little Frog, Sarabeths, Up Thai, Le Moulin a Café, Vicolina, Sfoglina, Cafe Grazie, and Emmy Squared.

Can't go wrong with the UWS though - you obviously have all of the cultural institutions and some great restaurants as well. Good thing - it only takes 15 minutes to cross the park.[/quote]
