Channeling between the Queens and Brooklyn boroughs, New York City's East River is a magnificent backdrop connecting the city's high-rises along the Manhattan coast. A main attraction for renters in the Upper, Mid, and Lower East Side, the East River takes the center stage to some of the best vantage points in the area. Murray Hill's View 34, Midtown's River Tower, and the Upper East Side's One Sutton Place North are no stranger to having the most reputable rentals with facades directly across the Manhattan waterway.
