What is considered East Side in Manhattan?

Fifth Avenue is the official dividing line between the West Side and the East Side. Heading Downtown, after Fifth Avenue ends at Waverly Place (the north end of Washington Square Park, what would be West 7th Street, if there were a West 7th Street) Broadway kind of becomes the unofficial dividing line, as it divides West 4th Street and East 4th Street, and West Houston Street and East Houston Street. Then it veers west (its path is crooked) and becomes a poor dividing line. But, below a certain point in Lower Manhattan, East and West cease to matter, as Manhattan tapers to a narrow point. The same happens in Upper Manhattan. Fifth Avenue ends at 143rd Street, when it hits the Harlem River. As Manhattan tapers off and gets narrower and narrower, the land east of Fifth Avenue becomes narrower and narrower, and finally disappears altogether. Above 127th Street, the East Side is only a few blocks wide, and it keeps getting narrower and narrower. By the time you get to 135th Street, almost its entire length is West 135th Street, and East 135th Street is only two blocks wide, as there are only two blocks left east of Fifth Avenue. Three blocks further Uptown, East 138th Street is only one block wide, and the remainder is West 138th Street, as there is only one block east of Fifth Avenue. Although Fifth Avenue actually ends at 143rd Street, starting at 139th Street, there is no more East Side. There is no East 139th Street, no East 140th Street, etc., etc. (well, there is, but they are in the Bronx, not in Manhattan). All the way up to the tip of Manhattan, at 221st Street, there is no East Side. All of the streets are "West 157th Street," "West 176th Street," "West 181st Street," etc. In contrast, in Lower Manhattan, the streets simply are not called West and East anymore. For example, there is no West Grand Street and East Grand Street, no West Chambers Street and East Chambers Street, no West Worth Street and East Worth Street. Just Grand Street, Chambers Street and Worth Street.
