UPPER EAST SIDE sites and landmarks |
Fifth Avenue. The Silk Stocking District. The Kennedy family, the Rockefellers, the Roosevelts. Millionaire's Row. The Upper East Side is stuffed with people richer than you, and they know it. The most residential affluent area in the city of New York, the Upper East Side also contains the more middle class area of East Yorkville, where many college students live in what is called the "Dorm District", but for the most part, this is the world of black AmEx cards and firing the maid for not opening the door the first time you rang the bell. Central Park - There's an old story that when the first European wakers came over to settle in New York, a great earth sorcerer infused a single tree in the area that would later become Central Park with all of his vast power in order to escape his family and lead a new life. It's just a silly story, of course--there's no way a tree with that magnitude of magic stay hidden and unexploited for so long--but kids and even some young adult wakers who should know better love to wander the park searching for the magic tree that's said to bestow great blessings and bring true peace to whomever finds it. The Damodred School - A k-12 school for upper class waker children, this academy grooms the children of sorcerers and magi alike for acceptance to one of the great universities of magic. Their regime is harsh, and the graduates who emerge even harsher, but they certainly are competent, no one can deny that. Leaf - One of the rare clubs on the Upper East Side, Leaf is always thudding with music and light, packed with the most beautiful people surgery can create and the finest alcohol that money can buy. Stepping inside for a mere sleeper and even some weaker mortal wakers is an intoxicating experience. You might wake up in the morning with no memory other than a colorful haze of pleasure, and no idea where you were last night, or you might not wake up at all. The fae and the vampires share this establishment, with each race taking alternate days to enjoy their prey. The risk is great, but hey, they say that the party is worth it.
