New York’s Upper East side is one of Manhattan’s most glamorous neighborhoods. Surrounded by Central Park and the East River and ranging from 60th to 96th streets, you’ll feel like you’ve truly arrived in New York City the moment you step outside of your taxi.

The Upper East Side is home to many of the stereotypical hoity-toity types that people tend to associate it with. Up here, Manhattan’s elite cruise New York’s best museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney and more. Up here you can also check out Central Park’s many splendors and galavant at the city’s finest boutiques like Scoop, Bloomingdales and Hermes.

With many famous restaurants, the Upper East Side is a great way to visit New York in style. It even hosts a few happening bars like ABV and Brandy’s Piano bar if you’re looking for a late-night hot spot that won’t cost you a $20 cab fare from your hotel.

The Lowell: Located on the chic, Madison Avenue, this boutique hotel spoils guests rotten with fabulous service and attention to detail. Bonus: Most suites have full kitchens and wood-burning fireplaces.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
