Upper East Side Car Service
The part of Manhattan that was built for this.
RideSoHo provides private car service across the Upper East Side — Fifth, Park, Madison and Lexington Avenues, Museum Mile, Carnegie Hill, Lenox Hill and Yorkville, from 59th Street to 96th.
Most buildings here have a canopy and a doorman who directs cars, which makes pickups among the most straightforward in Manhattan. Crosstown to the West Side, and getting off the island, are the two things worth planning around.
Working Here
Three things this neighbourhood teaches you.
The doorman is the arrangement
And it's usually a good one.
Canopies, driveways and a spot the building prefers. Your chauffeur works with the doorman rather than guessing, and for regular travel it stays on file.
Crosstown is the constraint
Not the avenues.
North and south move well here. Getting to the West Side or across to the FDR at the wrong hour is what adds time.
Hospitals are close, and specific
Which entrance matters.
Lenox Hill, Weill Cornell, Hospital for Special Surgery and Memorial Sloan Kettering all sit in or beside the neighbourhood, and each has several entrances.
How People Book
Four ways the neighbourhood books.
Airport transfers
LaGuardia is the shortest run from here. JFK and Newark are served directly, with the flight watched from departure.
Hourly days
Museums, Madison Avenue, appointments and evenings out, with the car waiting between stops.
Medical appointments
The chauffeur waits through the appointment, and collects from the entrance you specify.
Out of the city
Directly to Westchester, Connecticut, the Hamptons or further, without a stop elsewhere in Manhattan.
Around Here
What sits around you.
Where the neighbourhood actually goes.
Museum Mile
The Met, the Guggenheim, the Neue Galerie and the Cooper Hewitt, all dropped at the door.
Madison Avenue
The shopping stretch, where bags go into the car rather than being carried.
Central Park & the reservoir
Crosstown transverses are the fastest way west, and the hour decides which.
The hospitals
Lenox Hill, Weill Cornell, HSS and Sloan Kettering — specify the entrance when you book.
Schools
The independent schools through the 80s and 90s, with an adult travelling on every family booking.
Downtown & the airports
FDR south for the Financial District, the bridges east for LaGuardia and JFK.
Choosing a Vehicle
Mostly sedans, sometimes more.
Short trips and airport runs dominate here. Size up for families, luggage or child seats.

Questions
Upper East Side, answered.
Will the car wait under my building's canopy?
Where the building allows it, yes. Your chauffeur works with the doorman rather than guessing, and for regular travel the arrangement is kept on file.
Which airport is quickest from the Upper East Side?
LaGuardia, usually. JFK and Newark are both served directly, with the flight watched from departure and the rate fixed at booking.
Can the chauffeur wait during a hospital appointment?
Yes, on an hourly booking. Tell us which entrance to collect from — at Sloan Kettering, HSS and Weill Cornell the nearest one is often not the main one.
How long does it take to get to the West Side?
Crosstown is the slow direction here at almost any hour. The transverses through the park are usually fastest, and departure is planned around which one works.
Do you serve Museum Mile?
Yes — the Met, the Guggenheim, the Neue Galerie and the Cooper Hewitt, dropped at the door and collected when you are ready.
Can you collect after a Madison Avenue shopping trip?
Yes, and on an hourly booking the bags go into the car between stores rather than being carried.
Do you handle school runs on the Upper East Side?
We provide private family transportation with an adult travelling. We do not carry unaccompanied minors or provide supervision.
Can I go straight from here to the Hamptons?
Yes, direct, without a stop elsewhere in Manhattan — and the same journey back.
