1. A Day in The Life Of An Upper East Sider by Joe Saperstein

2. New York City is a great place. So many people from allover the world come to New York City and think it is so big.They think that it is a tourist site and not a place to live.They are partially right. New York City has the biggestpopulation of any city in America. However, even thoughNew York City is so big, you can still find a real sense ofcommunity and a “small town” feel in some neighborhoods.A neighborhood that really expresses the idea of acommunity feeling is The Upper East Side. The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Itis located between 59 th street to 96 th street and The East River to Central Park. As mentioned before, The UpperEast Side is pretty big, but I will be referring to myneighborhood, which is within the neighborhood of TheUpper East Side.

3. Firstly, The Upper East Side has a community feelingbecause so many people know each other. For example,my doctor is a member of my temple and is a parent at theelementary school I go to. Furthermore, half of my Hebrewschool class goes to my school and the cantor at mytemple is a parent at my school. This shows that there areso many overlaps between different parts of my life. Another reason The Upper East Side is similar to a small town is because almost all of my daily activities is in afive to ten block radius from my home. This shows thateverything you need is really close by. Lastly, The UpperEast Side is like a small town because my mom and Iwalked five blocks and we literally bumped into six peoplethat we know. This shows how almost everybody is friendlywith everyone, which signifies a small town feel. All in all, even in a big city, you can still find neighborhoods with a real sense of community.
