The area

Address

Neighborhood: Upper East Side

Combining quiet residential neighborhoods that have easy access to Central Park with world-famous cultural institutions, the Upper East Side is one of the most livable places in the city. Along beautiful Fifth Avenue, you’ll find Museum Mile, which houses many of the nation's most famous attractions in a single stretch, like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Walk a few blocks into the neighborhood, and you’ll come to Park Avenue, the poshest address in the city, lined with grand apartment buildings as far as the eye can see. Even if you can’t afford the luxury goods along Madison Avenue, it’s still a great spot to window shop an afternoon away.

In Central Park

May 2022 • Solo

The Arsenal is a really fine building that is located in Central Park. It is the hub that controls the working elements of the park.

NYC Parks Department headquarters

Jul 2017 • Business

Located next to the Central Park zoo. The 3rd floor is a small art gallery and is open to visitors. The Parks Department has curators that always find interesting art to display. It's open 9am to 5pm.

There's also a Store that sells Parks Department merchandise on the ground floor.
