The East Side of Manhattan refers to the side of Manhattan Island which abuts the East River and faces Brooklyn and Queens. Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and lower Broadway separate it from the West Side.
The major neighborhoods on the East Side include (from north to south) East Harlem, Yorkville, Upper East Side, Midtown, East Village, and Lower East Side. The main north-south expressways servicing the East Side are the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive and Harlem River Drive, which for the majority of their length are separated from the east shore of the island by the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway. It is served by the IRT East Side Line subway and by many bus lines.
