"Very Classy But Busy Area"

When I went through this area, the one thing I noticed was the number of businesses I found. I found a different business on every block. There are delis, small stores, restaurants, diners, and many other kinds of commercial facilities. There are also residential buildings in the area as well.

This street has a lot to offer anyone.
Pros
  • great bar scene
  • excellent restaurants
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • expensive
  • Crowded
  • everything's overpriced for tourists

"The well-to-do have maintained their positions in Carnegie"

A tightly-knit sort of community of high-end stores, restaurants and real estate can be found in this breathtakingly gorgeous neighborhood. It’s the sort of place that one imagines the well-to-do characters of Woody Allen films to reside, and the area hasn’t seen any reconstruction for quite some time, making the area an aesthetic delight for tourists and residents alike.
Pros
  • Charming cafes and bistros
  • Gorgeous architecture
  • major museums
Cons
  • astronomical rents
  • everything's overpriced for tourists
  • expensive

"Great place for a slow walk, nice retirement scene"

Just about any neighborhood you hit in the Upper East Side is beautiful to behold and generally offers the stereotypical “Old New York” kind of charisma, and Carnegie Hill is no exception. If for some reason you’re looking for a nice long walk where you won’t find too many trendy restaurants or shops, this is a good place to start. If you’re an incredibly wealthy doctor or lawyer or trust fund baby looking for the perfect place to retire, you’ve found it here.
Generally the buildings in this neighborhood are pretty old, which is part of the neighborhood’s extensive charm. Though the neighborhood’s affluence is apparent, it does border on East Harlem, which is a neighborhood that is the opposite of affluent. This kind of juxtaposition of very rich residents and very poor in a city is relatively rare, and offers an interesting (depending on your point of view, I suppose) kind of tension.
