UPPER MADISON AVENUE

That’s the smell of old money walking down the leafy, shady blocks stretching from the Eastern edge of Central Park to Park Avenue. The Upper East Side’s two central avenues, Park and Madison, are generally known as New York’s Gold Coast thanks to the miles of luxury boutiques (at one particular intersection, Tom Ford, YSL, Gucci, Prada, Chloe and Dolce Gabbana are within sight) and jaw-dropping brownstones that line them. Join the ladies who lunch at the sidewalk restaurants to catch your breath between Ralph Lauren and Alain Mikli.
