Step onto Madison Avenue, and you have “arrived” – the Upper East Side is a fashion lover’s paradise. Countless top international designers line the street, from Versace, Valentino and Oscar de la Renta to Chanel and Christian Louboutin. Discerning fashionistas can be spotted shopping at luxury department stores Barneys, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdorf Goodman.
Families don their finest for a Saturday afternoon stroll, businesswomen meet for brunch and couples shop arm-in-arm: weekends on the Upper East Side are the time to see and be seen. As a hub for art, fashion and high culture, you never know who you might meet.
