How Do You Shop On New Yorks Upper East Side?
Manhattan’s Upper East Side is where some of the wealthiest New Yorkers live and it’s also where they shop. You might not be able to live there, but no one can stop you from shopping there. Even if you can’t afford some of the high prices, it’s fun to browse and even try on a few things. The Upper East Side is bounded by 59th and 110th Streets and the East River and Central Park East. Feast your eyes on the textiles, home furnishings and kitchenware at the Conran Shop, 407 E. 59th St., at First Ave. You’ll feel like you’re in a modern art museum at the two-story modernist store, which focuses on home design with a selection of Eames chairs and Noguchi coffee tables. You can also find funky electronics, vases, desk accessories, gifts, textiles, lighting, linens and top-of-the-line kitchen supplies. Stop in your tracks when you reach the legendary Bloomingdales, at 1000 Third Ave. and 59th St. The landmark department store has been catering to sophisticated New York shoppers since 1886.
