[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the differences in the "vibe"/culture in the UES neighborhoods e.g. yorkville, carneige hill, etc? [/quote]

yorkville’s the boonies - only the q train on the second avenue line and carl schurz park in the area, but there are a ton of restaurants and bars on 1st and 2nd avenue. Carnegie Hill has the museums, but it’s quite quiet and, even though there are a ton of restaurants and things, it’s just a bit removed. Lenox Hill has a few beautiful hotels (The Carlyle is one of the greatest hotels in the world), is in the middle of a nice area right by the park, there are a bunch of museums, etc. and transport is great. Great restaurants, too. But it’s also a bit boring.

I would say Chelsea is the best bet. A bit of everything, including the cobblestone roads, GREAT restaurants, the whitney, etc. You walk, like 10 blocks south, you’re in the heart of the village and down by NYU, you walk ten blocks north, youre almost in times square (which sucks, but for visitors, is fine).

Just don’t stay in brooklyn. everyone hates brooklyn now.[/quote]
