The 1-2-3 (the red line) stops at 96th Street and Broadway, and the C train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) and the B train (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) both stop at 96th Street and Central Park West.
If 96th Street is more than a few subway stops away from your starting point, then you will want to take the 2 or 3, as they are express trains. The 1, the C, and the B are all local trains.

Where is the Yorkville area of Manhattan?
Yorkville, like Sutton Place and Carnegie Hill, is a sub-neighborhood of the Upper East Side. It runs west to east from 3rd Avenue to the East River, and north to south from 96th Street to 86th Street, 72nd Street or 59th Street (depending on who you ask). Most of Manhattan's neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries, and Yorkville is no exception. The Upper East Side runs south/north from 59th Street to 96th Street, and west/east from 5th Avenue to the East River. It is one of the few Manhattan neighborhoods that DOES have precise boundaries.

What subway do you take from Penn Station to Columbia?
Columbia University? Take the Uptown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) from 34th Street-Penn Station (at 7th Avenue, east side of Penn Station) to 116th Street-Columbia University (at Broadway).If the Uptown 2 or 3 express trains come first, then take them and transfer to the Uptown 1 local train at 96th Street. That's 3 stops: 34th Street-Penn Station ---> 42nd Street-Times Square ---> 72nd Street ---> 96th Street. You'll skip 5 local stops.
What is the estimated time to go from John F. Kennedy to Manhattan's Upper East Side by subway?
It would probably take an hour and a half to two hours. First you'd take the shuttle (called the AirTrain) from JFK to the Howard Beach Station of the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). From the Howard Beach Station to the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal Station is over an hour.After you get off the A train at 42nd Street-Port Authority, you'll need to walk through the tunnel that connects the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station.At the Times Square Station, you'd get on the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).Then at Grand Central Station, you'd transfer to the Uptown 4-5-6 (the dark green line) to the Upper East Side. The 4 and 5 are express trains: they go from 42nd Street-Grand Central ---> 59th Street ---> 86th Street ---> 125th Street. Since the Upper East Side runs from 59th Street to 96th Street, you'd have to get off at 59th or 86th Street if you take the 4 or 5.The 6 is a local train, so it stops at: 42nd Street-Grand Central ---> 51st Street ---> 59th Street ---> 68th Street-Hunter College ---> 77th Street ---> 86th Street ---> 96th Street.
What part of New York City is Park Avenue?
Park Avenue is a two-laned avenue that runs north/south and south/north through the borough of Manhattan, on the East Side. It starts at East 14th Street, and runs north until it hits the Harlem River (which flows south and joins the East River), at approximately East 132nd Street. From East 14th Street to East 34th Street it is called Park Avenue South. Not all of Park Avenue is ritzy and posh; as it is a very long avenue, it runs through quite a few different neighborhoods. The northernmost part of Park Avenue -- from East 96th Street up to the Harlem river -- runs through East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem, which is a predominantly Latino community, and one of the poorest neighborhoods in Manhattan. Strange as it sounds, some of the poorest people in the city live on Park Avenue. The famously ritzy part of Park Avenue is between East 96th Street and approximately East 59th Street, in the heart of the wealthiest neighborhood in the city, the Upper East Side. Since the Upper East Side ends at East 96th Street, and Spanish Harlem begins at East 96th Street, the wealthiest neighborhood in the whole city is right next to one of the most impoverished ones. The race and class divide between the south side of East 96th and the north side is so precise, it's almost Orwellian. From East 59th Street down to East 34th Street, Park Avenue runs through Midtown. Although Midtown is mainly a business and commercial neighborhood, Park Avenue is almost entirely comprised of residential buildings from East 96th Street all the way down to the end of Park Avenue South, at East 14th Street. From East 59th Street to East 34th it becomes a bit more middle class, but not by all that much. From East 34th Street to East 14th Street (Park Avenue South), it forms the eastern border of the Flatiron District and the western border of the Gramercy Park neighborhood, and it becomes more ritzy again. However, even though Park Avenue South is fairly ritzy too, when people talk about Park Avenue being glamorous, as in, "She has a penthouse on Park Avenue," they are generally referring only to the famously ritzy part, between East 96th and approximately East 59th. You can find Park Avenue fairly easily on a Google Maps map of Manhattan, as it is the only avenue that is labeled and highlighted in yellow on the East Side of Manhattan.

Is East Harlem New York a small neighborhood?

Why was the Upper East Side of Manhattan called the Silk Stocking District?
It was called the Silk Stocking District because all of the city's wealthiest and most powerful people lived (and STILL live) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, specifically Fifth, Madison and Park Avenues, from East 59th to East 96th Street. Only rich people could afford to wear silk stockings, so they were a symbol of opulence and class.
Is Penn Station on the Upper East Side?
No, Penn Station is in Chelsea. It's on the West Side, and much further Downtown than the Upper East Side. Penn Station is located at West 33rd to West 34th Streets, between 8th and 7th Avenues. The northern border of the Chelsea neighborhood is generally considered to be 34th Street. From 34th to 59th Street on the West Side is the neighborhood known as Hell's Kitchen (which is sometimes called "Midtown West," or "Clinton," which is its new, sanitized name). The Upper East Side is across town (on the East Side) and further north. The Upper East Side runs from East 59th Street to East 96th Street.
