I hop of the bus at East 79 Street.  As I started to walk the Jeffersons, the Nanny, Gossip Girl, SATC and the different strokes theme songs run thru my head.  I know you're all like  :wtf:, but it was an iPod moment, you had to be there.

 

Here on the corner is a nice little compound fit for MayDay.  I know how you like your compounds sugar. :wink:

 

 

Looking down Madison Avenue

 

Downstairs

 

upstairs

 

Park Avenue

 

Awnings are very big on the Upper East Side.  It's all about your awning.

 

I looked at that Penthouse when I was looking to buy, the outside of the building is gorgeous but it smells like cat pee and Geritol on the inside!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not every home on the upper east side is ultra fabulous.

 

 

Before heading to the spa, we stopped by the Carlyle for a purrrfect toast to Eartha Kitt.

 

in case anyone is interested, the building @79th St. (1st pic) is the Ukrainian Institute of America: http://www.ukrainianinstitute.org/index.php

My friend lives at 62nd(?) and 5th with a nice view of the park and the Plaza.  Thats a great area up there.

Look at those brownstones! That's my sheeit.

 

Look at the never-ending Madison ave. It just goes on forever.

62 & Fifth Avenue, damn!  Thats 10,11,12 million dollar coop territory.

Love those! Even on a dreary NY winter day, the ubiquitous yellow taxis ad splashes of color, like in the Madison Avenue shot.

Yeah, the amount of money in Manhattan is astounding.  She went to Riverdale school which is something like $50,000 a year for fucking grade school...

Oy @ you taking 'strolls.'

Brearly and such schools are ridiculous.  Some of my coworkers work just to send their kids to private schools.  Seems like after 5 grade a lot of people want to send their kids to private schools.  It's a ridiculous.

well, well what a nice new year's surprize with these threads. good to see you working the camera!

50k is obviously ridiculous but I don't blame anyone for sending their kids to private schools. I wish I had that opportunity. I got expelled for 20 days total in 7th grade. 10 days in 8th grade because of all the fights I got into that I didn't even start. All these liberals who go around bragging that they intend to send their kids to public schools never went to an inner city middle or high school. Those teachers do a sh!tty job of preparing you for college and they don't try to to promote the idea of college. They usually don't offer very many AP classes, if at all. They spend more time trying to break up fights and lecturing classes on their behavior more than actually teaching. Suburban schools are better but obviously people on this site don't condone suburban life or suburban schools either but I guarantee you 8 or 9 times out of ten with middle to upper class people, by the time Jr. gets to high school they'll go private if they dwell in your typical inner city. Every city has 1 or a few outstanding public schools that you test into but the kids who don't score high enough to get in will result in parents going private if they value their kid's education.

nice buildings!

Home, sweet home.

Nice, but the iron fence needs to enclose the front steps and be higher and a tad more foreboding. Something like this:

I tell you, I pick out a nice palace for this ice queen, and she has to "over the top".  Damn gays!

Wha? I don't want vile civilians sitting on my front stoop, do I?

Dear, that's why you have someone on your domestic staff "turn the hose" on those people.  Bleach and some hot water is a wonderful deterrent.

:wink:

 

 

Great building stock, but what's up with these air conditioning vents? They are all over the place!

Many of these coops are not wired or ventilated well.  AC units is one of my biggest pet peeves.  How can you live in a building with a great exterior yet there is a cheap window unit sticking out of nearly every building.  That is maddening to me.
