Inside Manhattan's RICHEST Neighborhood... Could You Live Here?

today we're exploring one of manhattan's  richest neighborhoods the upper east side   and we're going to see is there more to  this area than just mansions and high-end   shopping we're going to be joined by a local  who's going to show us some of the best spots   around you don't want to miss this there's so  much more here than what most people think is   the stereotype of the upper east side we're  going to show you some really cool spots carl sher's park i've actually never been here  before this is absolutely beautiful and i don't   think a lot of people outside of this neighborhood  really know about this i know you know everybody   knows central park but this really is a hidden  gem here on the east side i love this park in   the summertime i bring my chair and my blanket i  suntan out here everyone's out it's gorgeous i've   actually never stood on this side of the east  river i've been to roosevelt island there many   times that's the lighthouse over there yes and  and the view is just as nice from this side too   isn't it gorgeous you see the 59th street bridge  down there and there's actually a ferry stop over   here that you can take down to brooklyn or you can  take down to the beach so it's really convenient   very rich affluent people came and built  mansions yeah and so it was called mansion   row the people first settle who had money and  so it just always kind of stayed in this little   neighborhood i get it old money stays world  money is bill de blasio lives right now   yes and no surprise this is probably one of  the most protested sites in the entire city   there's cop cars everywhere there's a lot  of fences so generally if the people have   a problem they like to come right to the home of  the mayor right here yeah it was blocked off for   a long time during the pandemic but it's so nice  that it's open and people can see it because it's   really so beautiful and to think that it  was built so long ago always fascinates me all right we don't cover a lot of dark history  on this channel but i thought this was really   interesting this is where jeffrey epstein used to  live i don't think he deserves any introduction   these doors right behind us is famous for that  picture of prince andrew peeking out it is the   dark side but there's a lot of amazing  famous people that live up here we are   literally walking distance we can  see central park right there so   you would understand why someone with a lot  of money would want this particular block i have not seen this many like  super fancy sports cars alfa romeos   we are in line next to the ralph lauren flagship  store to get some amazing coffee and hot chocolate   only here in the upper east side will you be let's  go to a coffee shop and get ralph lauren coffee   upper east side is the dog in your purse capital  of america am i right it's very true the upper   east side is beautiful sights and sounds of the  city but also it's one of my favorite places   to people watch i mean just look around us  right now everybody is dressed to the nines   everybody is so unique and interesting i  just love it i can't get enough of it i feel   underdressed for the ralph lauren coffee actually  that's okay i i got you you got me what are you   guys most well known for um like the seasonal  tanks would be like the maple fresh latte or   the peppermint hot chocolate i'll do a peppermint  hot chocolate i'm gonna do the maple spice latte this is really good oh my gosh it tastes  like the holidays right i would say so yeah   pepperminty hot chocolate see why there was  a long line huh yes there's always talks   about like what's the richest neighborhood in  manhattan tribeca is usually top of the list   but i don't know i get a totally different  vibe in the upper east side it just feels   more elegant maybe it's because of  all the shopping and restaurants   but also you know tribeca they're coming up quick  on us but it's more high-rise buildings up there   you really see here i mean look at these houses  people that live in here just can you even imagine   living there this just screams money so you  really it's really in front of your face here   on the east side and we also have embassies we  have the embassy of cameroon right behind us some   of the nicest homes in all of new york city are  here i know by the way i think that that's kelly   ripa's house it's a very popular celebrity  neighborhood that yeah that i know for sure   you never know who you're gonna see walking around  this neighborhood that's ramona from the real   housewives of new york a lot of the housewives  lives here on the east side in the white coat this neighborhood is so big that we are barely  scratching the surface in this video i mean   we could do 10 videos on the upper east  side but you know what that means you're   just going to have to come back and we'll  just have to go it's not a sequel yes yes we wanted to show you all a spot that isn't super  expensive but it's actually my sort of place   a quirky gift shop this is one of my favorite  places so that you can get souvenirs for people   it has the gift shop here then it has a little  bakery and deli area so it's a really unique spot   i already see something like two seconds in gastro  obscura a food because everybody needs squirrel   underpants that's alicia yeah can't fit anything  in it but it's just it's for the look you know   what about candy shots i'm in i know how about  real shots that's what we're going to next yes we're on second ave now i feel like this  is the upper east side where if you're just   moving to new york you're probably going to end  up somewhere around here you have a lot of bars   you have a lot of restaurants it doesn't  feel as fancy no definitely not now we're   more east from the east side of the east side  and you're right it's not the high end i mean   this is where it's like a dive bar right here  there's so many great dive bars around here john   let me tell you you can get some great spots  i'm a single girl i live here alone and i feel   very safe in this neighborhood i feel very  safe walking at night during the day anytime   we're in nr and this is my type of place i feel  like it moves away from that stereotype of the   upper east side either being some stuck up french  bistro italian spot a bro bar this is a real hip   cocktail ramen combo right yes yes i have  not been here before so i wanted to take you   here so we can try out some amazing cocktails  and specialty food i mean just look at these   cocktails this is some of the most  creative it was like it's like   watching an artist do their craft it looks  like a lampshade oh it is a lampshade wow i don't think i've ever had a drink quite  like this one before smoking right in front of me wow acting experience this is a winner  this is the deviled egg egg egg it has   caviar and sea urchin on top this is probably  one of the most expensive deviled eggs you're   ever gonna eat i think so too i will eat  anything with caviar it is my favorite food   there's an explosion of flavors you know they say oysters are  an aphrodisiac so is alcohol most people drink from a tea cup  to relax from teacup to party wow i think that you are the coolest bartender  in new york city i have to say absolutely   ramen and cocktails i can't think of  too many spots that do that it's not   normally something that you would combine i would  think it's actually very true i feel like every   ramen place i've been to in this city is all about  the ramen and you know of course you can get sake   you know japanese beer there but nothing  like craft cocktails like this place   oh that's good yeah that's good bring me back  to japan actually really bring me back yeah i   mean i'm not someone that goes out of my way  to eat ramen all the time but in japan it   tastes like that this is bringing me back really  unique you've got to check nr out like put this   near the top of your list coming to the upper east  side anywhere upper manhattan make a reservation   oh my gosh amazing follow alicia on instagram link  down below in the description
