Yorkville Neighborhood Guide
Despite its very English-sounding name, this is an Upper East Side neighborhood with deep German roots, which can still be spied in nooks and crannies on the tree-lined streets. Yorkville was gentrifying before there was a name for it and families have been migrating here since the 1950s. This is still a family-dominated enclave, although pockets of students and recent grads have been congregating in recent years to take advantage of rents less onerous than are usually found on the east side of Central Park. Retirees too are taking advantage of the residential feel and the stretching of the real estate dollar here.
Architecture and landmarks
Buildings in Yorkville have maintained a human scale in a city of skyscrapers. The neighborhood star is Gracie Mansion, a Federal-style country home constructed by shipping magnate Archibald Gracie in 1799. Since Fiorello LaGuardia was mayor in 1942 it has been the official residence of New York City's chief executive; part of the house is open for tours. Yorkville has seen its share of other famous residents - the Marx brothers grew up at 179 East 93rd Street and a stretch of East 91st Street between Second and Third Avenues is named for James Cagney, who spent his childhood here. Carl Schurz, a Secretary of the Interior and the first German-born American elected to the United States Senate, has a riverside park named for him. Whiffs of German-influenced architecture still exist in Yorkville such as the Rhinelander Children's Center on East 88th Street.
Transport
The subway has been the bane of Yorkville existence for years. First it was the lack of a nearby line that necessitated walks of 15-20 minutes from some corners of the neighborhood to reach stops for the 4, 5 and 6 trains. Lately, the construction of the Second Avenue underground seeks to rectify the situation. The disruptive part of the project has been completed and stations began opening in 2017. Several bus lines ply First, Second and Third Avenues and Yorkville residents can hop on the M79, M86 and M96 lines to travel crosstown.
Schools
Yorkville public schools consistently rank in the upper half of New York City rankings. Serving the neighborhood are PS 290 Manhattan New School, for grades K-5 with an emphasis on literacy; PS 77 Lower Lab School for Gifted Education, where K-5 students apply for admission and teaching is based on literature and not textbooks; PS 158 Bayard Taylor School, which stresses community involvement; and the latest addition to the educational roster, Yorkville Community School, M 151, which broke the ribbon on its classrooms in 2009. The East Side's only junior high school, Robert Wagner, is in Yorkville. Private facilities include the Chapin School and the Brearley School, both all-girls institutions.
Health
Several specialty practices operate in Yorkville, including the PT Program at Asphalt Green, the Mount Sinai Kidney Center, the Yorkville Endoscopy Center, the Upper East Side Dialysis Center and the Dewitt Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. Just across the southern neighborhood boundary at 79th Street is the Lenox Hill Hospital.
Safety
Yorkville is part of the 19th Precinct which had 9.41 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016. It is considered to be among the safest places to live in New York City.
Things to do
Family activities are the norm in Yorkville. The neighborhood is slowly being infiltrated by gastropubs and artesian eateries as a nightlife begins to bloom. Entertainment options that have opened in the past few years include Speakeasy Dollhouse, the Comic Strip Live and Brandy's Piano Bar. Ethnic restaurants - the German menu of goodies at Heidelberg Restaurant and the Hungarian creations at Andres Cafe for instance - are favorite destinations.
You can take a taste of Germany home with you from Schaller & Webber that is entering its tenth decade as a family-run purveyor of quality meats. In addition to the lushly landscaped Carl Schulz Park, John Jay Playground is an athlete's delight. There are basketball and handball courts, workout stations and two public swimming pools.
An esplanade with unobstructed views to Roosevelt's Island, Wards Island and Queens runs along the East River for strollers and joggers. Also, the Asphalt Green swimming and fitness facility has been offering free and low-cost community programs since 1984 where once the Municipal Asphalt Plant operated.
