Fanciest Postal Code Is About To Be Split Up

Submitted by Rhywun, Mar 20, 2007 01:49

Maybe they can write "Upper East Side" instead of "New York" in their address, if they must demonstrate their superiority to the rest of us. Although with rents everywhere hitting the stratosphere, "New York" itself should be good enough to demonstrate one's monetary worth. Those of us getting priced out of Manhattan (I'm leaving next week) don't really care one way or another.
