Old Yorkville- Subsumed by Upper East Side, mostly

One hundred years ago, this corner of First Avenue and 86th Street was the center of a thriving German American community, which has dwindled away over they years...on this corner, where there once were brauhaus places, all that remains is a branch of the Ridgewood Savings Bank--Ridgewood in Queens being where a lot of the old residents moved to, before they then went on to the suburbs.

In the 1920's. East 86th Street towards the River sprouted a lot of large luxury apartment buildings, much like those on East 79th Street or Est 72nd Street...as did East End Avenue...the farthest Easternmost point of Yorkville, where Carl Schurz Park rests before its esplanade over the FDR Drive on the East River.

A lot  of the old (now gentrified) tenements still exist, like those below

 And also some unexpected structures like the old Church of the Latter Day Saints...

And, on East End Avenue facing the Park, ornate old mini-mansions....

But the atmosphere is just generally a continuation of the Upper East Side...especially on Upper York Avenue, where very expensive new buildings arose in the 1950's and 1960's (and where the side streets now are nothing but renovated townhouses and old commercial buildings turned into things like  very big Special Coffee and Organic Foods /..No, any echoes of the immigrants--not just German but also Irish, Eastern Europeans and even Orthodox Jews-- are long forgotten...
