Winter in New York is a magical time, and there is no place in the city where this is more true than on the Upper East Side. With the wide expanses of Central Park to catch the beauty of every snowfall, and the world’s most respected museums always there to provide warmth for the body and inspiration for the mind, Algin Management’s no-fee Manhattan apartments connect you to the best the city has to offer, inside and out. 

At 400 East 66th Street, The Pearl rises over the neighborhood with its facade of limestone and glass, offering spacious apartments with sweeping views of the East River. Algin’s 96th Street Brownstones, with their old New York charm updated for 21st century living, put you so close to Central Park and Museum Mile that the views along the reservoir in the park and the van Goghs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will feel like an extension of your home. 

During the holidays, you’ll want to visit the Met’s Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche, which features a 20-foot blue spruce standing in front of the museum’s 18th century Spanish choir screen. Combining artifacts with a living tree and classic Christmas themes, the display features 18th century porcelain angels and a nativity scene, all softly lit in the Medieval Sculpture Hall. For another blockbuster holiday experience, check out the show “Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts.” In this revelatory show, the Met has paired 150 drawn works from the Walt Disney Studio with 60 objects from the French Rococo period. It’s a stunning juxtaposition that sheds light on the aesthetic foundations for the look of the early classic Disney films, which have helped to shape the American imagination. 

Residents of Algin’s no-fee NYC apartments won’t have to venture very far to find the Guggenheim Museum — the building itself is an architectural masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright. Living so close to this landmark means you can enjoy the beauty of the circular building on your way to the park or on an after-dinner excursion down Fifth Avenue at night. But when the temperatures drop, the winter exhibitions this season will encourage you to gather friends and family and make a day of it. 

Central Park is the kind of iconic New York spot that you can treat as a world-class attraction or your own private backyard, depending on your plans and your mood. When friends or relatives come to town, you can take them to see celebrated park sites like the Alice in Wonderland statue or to view the city skyline around the reservoir. But it is also the perfect place for romantic or solitary wanderings when you feel like tuning out the city and entering a winter landscape as

peaceful as the countryside, with the world’s best culture, shopping, and dining twinkling behind it. Make the most out of this season! Find your dream Upper East Side apartment by contacting us today.
