The Upper East Side is located between 96th Street to the north, the East River to the east and 59th Street to the south. It’s long been considered one of NYC’s most affluent neighborhoods. Local comedian Ellie Sachs took to the street to find out from locals their answer to the age-old question, “Where should I eat around here?” Then, Ellie checked out some of the best restaurants on the Upper East Side.
