Explore the Neighborhood

It’s no surprise Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side is named for one of the many homes of Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s richest men.

Today the neighborhood’s reputation for affluence hasn’t strayed too far, with stately townhouses, fine dining, and iconic streets like Fifth, Park, and Lexington Avenues. Between the pearles and Porsches, you can find unexpected, trendy destinations like Kaia Wine Bar and Earl’s Beer and Cheese.
