Upper Eastside

I was on the upper eastside this weekend on my way to the Whitney museum and as I was walking down Lexington Avenue I saw several longtime shops had closed including a children's shoe store on 84th street and a coffee shop on 75th street. I can't remember the last time I saw so many shuttered places in that neighborhood.
