And I ask only because of all the neighborhoods in Manhattan where I envision this happening is on the east side, which has always seemed really suburban. I mean, I know the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts lived there AT ONE TIME, but Anderson lives in the West Village now and the UES is just another area where working people live (outside some very, very, very small enclaves like Sutton Place, for example).
