Manhattan Walking Tour - 1/3

Usually, for photography or showing around visitors, I walk around the middle, with Strawberry Fields, Great Meadow, Imagine, Shakespeare gardens and theater and pond, Bow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace, my usual haunts for decades. [ Photo Collection ]

But I have a route B I often take, when I'm in the East Side and decide to walk home on a nice day. So I did, the other day, no camera (but a new smart phone to try out) but lovely weather and good exercise. So...

Part 1 here, walking around the iconic Upper East Side, with its flagship stores (Tiffany, Gucci, etc.), iconic churches, and sky-scrapers.
