The picture of Park Avenue with the view of the MetLife building is in midtown, not the upper east side. The picture was once shown in the Manhattan article under an Upper East Side caption and I removed it. Hypertall ( talk) 06:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a list of links at the bottom of this page to the other NYC neighborhoods that have their own pages? -- Michael K. Smith 16:49, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
"The Upper East Side is famous for being the resident area of Manhattan's high society, exclusive parties and clubs, five-star hotels, high-end shopping, world-class dining and entertainment, and the nationally ranked single-sex private schools."
This paragraph is a bit misleading. While the Upper East Side is the wealthiest neighborhood in the city, there are plenty of other very wealthy areas (parts of the UWS, the West Village, Grammercy, Tribeca), so calling it "the" resident area of local high society seems a bit much. If it is meant to refer to a specific portion of wealthy society, ie. old-money, Gilded Age types, it should be more explicit, although that's probably a gross overgeneralization and shouldn't be included in the article.
As for the other things mentioned in that list:
exlusive parties and clubs--there are exclusive parties all over Manhattan, no doubt, maybe more fundraisers here, but still. And clubs? Unless this is referring to social clubs like the Metropolitan, it's totally wrong.
five-star hotels--I would say Midtown's got more swank hotels than the UES, but what does five-star mean anyway? Five-star according to who?
high-end shopping--Madison Avenue is, after Fifth in Midtown, the ritziest shopping in the city, to be sure. But since the most expensive shopping street isn't even in the UES it's hard to call it "the" place for that.
world-class dining--same situation as with hotels; probably a lot more in Midtown, not to mention the rest of the city...
single-sex private schools--no argument here.
I'm gonna work on fixing these if I get some agreement, or maybe change the sentence to just say that it includes all of those things that were mentioned, rather than being THE place for them. Hope I'm not just picking nits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.45.185 ( talk) 06:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I was told that the 10021 zip listed for the East End on Upper East Side has changed, according to the USPS, 10075.
Steve —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.177.135.190 ( talk) 15:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Apparently, this is true for streets above East 61st Street. But there are now 3 zip codes for the area:
"The U.S. Post Service's [sic] (USPS) has decided to subdivide the 10021 zip code, effective July 1, 2007, and create two new zip codes, 10065 and 10075. 10065 will run from East 61st Street through East 68th Street; 10021 will run from East 69th Street through East 76th Street; and 10075 will run from East 77th Street through East 80th Street. The USPS advises that the division is necessary to ensure prompt delivery of mail in an area that has seen a significant population growth and a large amount of new development. As a result of this growth, the USPS has run out of "+four"numbers for the 10021 area and, accordingly, has determined that it must divide the area."

This article could really use a map showing the location of this neighbourhood in relation to the rest of the city. Skomorokh, barbarian 22:59, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I agree, the Manhattan chamber of commerce and Community board 8 has a map, none of which includes East Harlem which is by a different community board north of 96th street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jammin566z ( talk • contribs) 04:55, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I have removed a number of books and films from the list in the popcult section, because they have little or nothing to do with the Upper East Side. To be included on this list, a book, film or television should should primarily be about this neighborhood, or people who live or work in the neighborhood. A scene or two set in the UES really isn't sufficient, nor is a book or film about someone whose home is there but then spends the entire story elsewhere in the world.
If I've made an error, and removed something that should stay, please let me know here, but I suspect that a fair number of the items I removed were put in the list as a joke, so I'm going to be watching it pretty closely. BMK ( talk) 04:28, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
The churches and synagogues are just thrown together in the same category.
I don't think that you need a citation to prove that Jackie Kennedy lived at 1040 Fifth Avenue. Just about everybody in the city of New York knew that she lived in that apartment building. You can also verify this information in her Wikipedia article.
If you need verification that Generoso Pope lived at 1040, peruse the book that was written by his grandson Paul David Pope, "The Deeds of My Fathers." Pope resided in that building when he died in 1950.

New to Wikipedia? I've been contributing to Wikipedia for about 10 years now and have made thousands of edits to articles. In the past, I have been criticized for not verifying edits with reliable sources. I have even been threatened to be blocked from editing because I wasn't adding verification to my edits. If a statement is true and already known by the vast majority of the population, I don't understand why said statement needs to be sourced. I can understand deleting edits that are hearsay, conjecture, or speculation, but I don't think that an obvious fact needs to be sourced.
In reference to Jackie Kennedy's place of residence, I have an interesting story about 1040 Fifth Avenue. In the summer of 1975, which was about four months after the death of Aristotle Onassis, I was stopped at a red light in front of her apartment building. Lo and behold, Jackie comes out of Central Park and walks right in front of my car to get to her apartment building. It was the first and only time that I had seen the former First Lady in person. She was striking to look at. I can certainly understand why Ron Galella hounded her day and night.

Is there some reason we have descriptions for some of the bluelinked people but not for others? And is there a reason to use WP:PEACOCK terms like "award-winning"? Unless there's some valid reason that I'm not seeing for this inconsistency and tone issue, I'd like to suggest just having the bluelinked names. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 17:21, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
The source for 110 is www.ny.com. Which seems far from a reliable source. Everything else, including the Geo section of this post mentions 96th st. at the northern boundary of Upper East Side. Also the original New York magazine citation is much more credible than www.ny.com. But here are two much less bias sites to use:
From NYC.com http://maps.nyc.gov/census/
From google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Upper+East+Side,+New+York,+NY

per WP:LISTGAP, we should try to fix the lists which are being broken apart using {{ col-break}}. I attempted to fix this but was reverted with no explanation. Frietjes ( talk) 13:18, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

|colwidth=
parameter with {{
colbegin}}
. Generally, adjust its value so that it is wide enough to accommodate the longest list entry without wrapping; but this may not be possible for very long entries like
Andrew Carnegie Mansion and those others that have extra text.|upright
- more space will be available for the columns. Connected with that, three of the overlarge images depict museums - yet are placed at the bottom of
Upper East Side#Politics; this itself is an accessibility issue, since the images relate to the section
Upper East Side#Museums, but are not inside that section. See
WP:ACCIM item 5, and
MOS:IMAGELOCATION#Vertical placement. --

@ Beyond My Ken: Yes, I see that my edit didn't have the effect I wanted. Thank you for reverting it.
What was bothering me was
To me at least, the default interpretation of "New York" is not the state but the city, which is far better known worldwide. Even though the city is explicitly named right above the supposedly implicit naming of the state, I was trying to make it explicit, but I didn't do it right. In fact, I can't figure out either how to do it, or what, if anything, my edit actually did. Do you know either answer?

When? 100 years ago? This is clearly not the case anymore, so why include this statement in the modern demographics section? It should be in the history section, if anything. Jonathan f1 ( talk) 09:37, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I think this section should be split to List of people from the Upper East Side. The section is already pretty long (it makes up 218 of the 327 references) and has more than 83,000 of this page's 156,000 characters of wikicode. epicgenius ( talk) 17:57, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
