Yorkville (New York City, New York)

Yorkville is a sub-neighborhood within the greater Upper East Side neighborhood, in the uptown area of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. Yorkville's boundaries include: the East River on the east, 96th Street (where East Harlem begins) on the north, Third Avenue on the west as far as 86th street and then 5th Ave. as far as its southern boundary at 72nd Street. However, its southern boundary is a subject of debate. Some sources and natives consider 59th Street (the southern boundary of the greater Upper East Side, bounded by Central Park and the East River) to be the southern boundary, while others consider it being only 86th Street.

What is certain is that Yorkville's boundaries have changed over time. Its western half was referred to as "Irishtown." The neighborhood's main artery, East 86th Street, was sometimes called the "German Broadway." Yorkville is part of Manhattan Community Board 8.
