The difference? Nowadays, almost nothing. UES is bigger with less subway access (for now), and its easier to find a reasonably priced apt (East of first ave).
As far as stores, restaurants, nightlife, people, etc. just imagine a huge mirror running right down the middle of central park, from 96th to 61st.

So what are example price (rent) quotes for "a reasonably priced apt. (East of First Ave." in the UES for a studio and for a one-bedroom?
I'd also mention that the 4,5,6 trains from UES to downtown are pretty awful. They run very frequently but they are always fully packed during rush hour. That second ave line is badly needed.
I haven't tried it myself, but I would suspect the B and C trains servicing the UWS would be not as crowded because most people coming from uptown and the BX will take the A and D express trains. The local B and C run much less frequently which could make commuting to/from the UWS for work and fun take longer and require more transfers.
It just goes to show us how astronomical housing prices have become over the course of time in New York City and environs, that one would be asked to pay up to $3000.00/month for even a studio and consider that to be "reasonable" . . . even if it is the Upper East Side or Yorkville neighborhoods of Manhattan (for it would hardly be too different in other neighborhoods and sections of Manhattan by-and-large). I can't conceive of parting with so much money each single month just for rent alone and for a studio at that . . . not to mention all the other costs-of-living added on top of that each month.

The UES is basically for the richest of the rich, as if to state the obvious.
There are many properties there that are valued in the tens of millions of dollars.

Let someone who works in the field answer this.
From stuff i actually show, seen, rented to clients. Studios range from $1500-$2300 east of first ave. 1BRs from $1849-$2500 east of first ave.
