Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place.

With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks.
