The Characteristic Green Awnings of Park Avenue Residential Buildings in the Upper East Side

The photograph portrays a typical glimpse of Manhattan's Upper East Side along Park Avenue, one of the most exclusive residential streets in New York. The green awnings with white letter street numbers, a distinctive element of luxury New York buildings, follow one another along the sidewalk. Pedestrians walk among the red brick facades of elegant condominiums built in the early decades of the twentieth century. Park Avenue, which runs parallel to Fifth Avenue, has represented for over a century the preferred address of the American upper bourgeoisie. The image captures the refined and discreet atmosphere of this residential neighborhood.
