Its permanent collection contains over two million works, divided among seventeen curatorial departments. The main building, on the eastern edge of Central Park along Museum Mile in Manhattan, is by area one of the world’s largest art galleries.” Founded on April 13, 1870, the museum’s mission was to encourage and develop the study of the fine arts, and the application of arts to manufacture and practical life.
In addition, the Frick, a museum known for old master paintings and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts, states, “The collection was assembled by the Pittsburgh industrialist Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) and is housed in his former residence on Fifth Avenue.

In a 2017 report published by Curbed, the Upper East Side was found to be the most affordable neighborhood. The article states, “To qualify as the “most affordable” in this study means that the median rent for a two-bedroom is the most proportionate to its area median.
At that, the Upper East Side is the city’s most affordable neighborhood. With an area median household income of $155,213 and a median two-bedroom rent of $3,555, only 27.48 percent of income is required for rent.”
The New York Times states, “In the 1970s and ’80s, the Upper East Side was considered plenty cool enough for young New Yorkers, even those who could afford to live anywhere they wanted. Since then, many of the young and the restless have been drawn downtown and to Brooklyn. And yet, the Upper East Side continues to house a healthy contingent of 20-somethings, thanks to rents that are more affordable than those in catnip neighborhoods.
