Yorkville, Manhattan

German, Neighborhoods

March 10, 2013

After the General Slocum disaster of 1904, many Little Germany residents from the Lower East Side moved to Yorkville, on the Upper East Side.

Although Yorkville’s precise boundaries may be in dispute (at least according to the quick Internet search I just conducted), the general area runs perhaps from about 96th Street to 79th Street, and from Third Avenue to the East River.

As with the Lower East Side, the German community that was once here is no longer. Heidelberg Restaurant is one of the obvious remnants, as is its neighbor Schaller & Weber.
