New York City Tribeca, Upper West Side (very uniformly wealthy for such a big neighborhood), Billionaire's Row (no explanation needed), Hudson Yards, Turtle Bay, Brooklyn Heights, Gramercy/Flatiron, and a bunch more. It's kind of astounding how many wealthy neighborhoods there are all over the city.

The difference between these neighborhoods and the Upper East Side is that in these places all you need to move in is a lot of money. On Park and Fifth just being rich isn’t nearly enough.
I’m currently writing a paper about wealth in America’s 100 largest cities. I’m hoping you all can provide some insight on the wealthy neighborhood or suburb associated with each city. This doesn’t have to be the area with the highest median income, but rather the area that’s immediately thought of as “high-class” in relation to the rest of the city. For example, even though the Upper East Side is no longer the wealthiest neighborhood in NYC, it’s still often referenced as the be all-end all wealthy neighborhood in NYC. I’ve provided a list below with some I’ve already filled out. If anyone could help out, that would be great!

To be honest, you might be better off going by the 100 biggest metro areas, as some areas have multiple cities on this list.
Pittsburgh: Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Point Breeze, Highland Park (City, Old Money)
Strip District, Lawrenceville, Mexican War Streets (City, New Money)
Fox Chapel, Sewickley (Suburbs, Old Money)
Wexford, Upper St. Clair, Peters Township (Suburbs, New Money)

Neither is simply being rich enough for many of the co-ops along Central Park West in the 60s and 70s either. Madonna was famously rejected from one of them back in the 80s.

I've experienced the snootiness with clients on Park & Fifth. This is probably the most storied, snooty, rich, exclusive, high society stretch in the world.
Soho, Tribeca, Flat Iron, etc., are all great, trendy and wealthy, but the Upper East Side, specifically Park, Madison Fifth, ~60th-90th Streets is a whole different world.
