Where shopping is concerned, New Yorkers aren’t just on another continent, they are on another planet. For the purposes of anthropological study, I’m going to narrow down that sweeping statement and concentrate on one area of Manhattan in particular, which is where, in my opinion, the purest and most extreme form of mad Manhattan dressing and purchasing takes place\u2014the Upper East Side (or UES, as it shall now be known). The neighborhood, which stretches roughly from 59th Street up to 96th Street, is where the majority of Manhattan’s elite private schools are housed. It has some of the most expensive real estate (the closer to Fifth Avenue, the more expensive); the chicest shopping areas (Madison Avenue, from 59th to 88th Street); the highest percentage of nannies, yummy mummies, soccer moms and dog walkers; the greatest number of doctors and plastic surgeons; endless traffic jams of chauffeur-driven, black Chevy Suburbans; and two of the world’s most preposterously Eurotrash caf\u00e9s\u2014Sant Ambroeus, known as St. A, and Via Quadronno, or Via Q.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
