74th St Between 1st Ave and York Ave

Unique for the Upper East Side, this block is populated by mostly older apartment buildings. The dark street has narrow sidewalks that are made even narrower by all the trash bins and trees. The eastern end of the block is capped off by a large condo building and a church.

Across 1st Avenue, there are two handsome buildings. The southernmost is home to a liquor store called Baccus which has wrought iron detailing and stain glass windows. Across the street a building which appears to be a restored bank or post office or restaurant and now houses some medical offices. Their twin detailing play off each other nicely, though few other buildings in the area are as nice.
