WIKI:
Central Park is the most visited
urban park in the United States
with millions of visitors each year.
It is one of the most filmed
locations in the world.

Central Park East runs along
5th Ave on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  

The 
Upper East Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in NYC, between Central Park/Fifth Avenue, 59th Street, the East River, and 96th St.

​
The area incorporates several smaller neighborhoods, including Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, and Yorkville. Once known as the Silk Stocking District, it is now one of the most affluent neighborhoods in New York City.

Central Park was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior and placed on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage sites in April of 2017.
