This is the Met's new outpost for modern and contemporary art. Also free (or donation suggestion), but smaller and more manageable for a single afternoon.

Parks & Nature

This is my hands-down favorite place to run in New York. One loop is a little over 1.5 miles.

Food Scene

There's no seating in this little coffee shop, but there is the best coffee you'll get in the Upper East Side.

I love this Szechuan place; in my humble opinion, it can give restaurants in East Village and even Chinatown a run for their money.

Great Mediterranean food just around the corner. Get the mezze platter or the grilled lamb on the smoked eggplant puree!

Essentials

This is my go-to "general store": it has toiletries, hardware, bedding, cookware, bath products, cleaning supplies, stationery, furniture, you name it. If you need a pharmacy, there's also a Duane Reade one block north.

If you need a quick trip to an urgent care center, this is the closest one. Otherwise, for an emergency room visit, Lenox Hill Hospital is nearby.

Drinks & Nightlife

Though the Upper East Side isn't famous for its cool bars, The Penrose is pretty hip, in a on-trend cocktail / cheese board / vintage wallpaper kind of way.

Getting Around

From the apartment, this is your primary subway stop. It gets on the 6 line, which goes downtown to Grand Central, Union Square, Soho / Chinatown, all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge.
