76th St Between Madison Ave and Park Ave

Fully entrenched in the Upper East Side (side question: should neighborhood names be capitalized? I'm getting mixed reactions), this block is only a few steps from the Whitney Museum, and as-such feels sufficiently high-class. There was a good deal of construction and renovation on this block – I guess the buildings weren't fancy enough.

You'll find three types of people on this street: People who live here, people looking for the Whitney and invisible people (seriously, it's like a ghost town).  Once you reach Park Avenue, things open up a bit and  the Lenox Hill Hospital is dominant on the north east corner - with half being brick and the other half being....some sort of turquoise thing.
