Though technically not completely situated in the Upper East Side itself, this aerial tramway carries passengers from the Upper East Side to Roosevelt Island for the price of one metro ticket -$2.50. Roosevelt island is just two miles long, so its easy to expire in just a couple of hours. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is beautiful.
