Well I know several people that agree with me about the UES. Maison Kayser... UES location is so-so. Better locations elsewhere. Oh I do know what I'm talking about. I've been eating on the UES for years. Restaurants are just OK. Sorry but it's true. SAS hasn't ho helped. Good places shut down from it.
Not for nothing but you're coming off as extremely pretentious

In your line of posts, you suggested that the quality of groceries/restaurants on the UES was not much better than bars and diners and greasy spoons in lower-income neighborhoods. But heck, what do I know, I only lived in a variety of different neighborhoods (including the UES).
And good luck finding a "house" in that area of interest. The housing stock is mostly co-ops/condos. Houses are few and far in between. And I believe developers already scooped up the few brownstones and upmarked them over a million.

There are a lot of single families in nearby Mott Haven, correct?
I know some of those are still affordable for NYC standards.

There are a few, that have been flipped by developers. The ones that aren't are completely outdated and needs a full gut. But there still isn't a large supply there. A single family has to be the worse house to buy in NYC. You are not able to supplement your income in anyway with a single family (unless you rent out rooms or airbnb in your private space). You solely bare the cost of the maintenance on the home. At least with co-op/condo you don't have to worry about replacing a 3k boiler or 10k roof replacement.
I always tell people go for the two family at least. Unless you are completely financially stable, but still at 500k even in the Bronx for a single family it just makes more financial sense and a better investment to buy a two family for 800k. When you have rental income and more space.

NYC has AMAZING food, and the UES isn't known to be a food haven. There are a lot of choices, but many mediocre ones. The difference in the South Bronx is you have very few options on top of poor quality.

I suggested it and I'm still saying that. Yes, the UES has options, but the restaurants are so-so, and since this is supposed to be about the South Bronx, I would rather not delve further by giving more examples/evidence, but I've eaten at enough places for many years to know what I'm talking about. Many of them are overpriced to boot. Someone mentioned Eli Zabar establishments. Those would be an example of an overpriced option, along with Dean & DeLuca.
If the Yankee Stadium/Concourse area already had a whole foods, the real estate would not now be affordable.
It doesn't have one....yet.
And the real estate is, for now, affordable.
Great area. I used to live there, wish I still did.
I often shopped at the Western Beef market at...138th St? Why shop at Whole Paycheck?
