Cheap Hotels in Upper East Side

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in New York

Neighborhood Description

To some folks, the Upper East Side should be called the Upper Crust Side, drawing to mind ladies who lunch?in Chanel?and immaculately groomed poodles. This is not entirely undeserved. After all, the UES is one of the highest rent districts in the nation. It's home to Barneys, Bloomingdales, Cartier, and Sotheby's, as well as any number of the top designer stores along Madison and Lexington avenues. And the elegant brownstones and town houses nestled in the streets between Central Park east to Third Avenue, shelter some of the wealthiest families in the country.
