Zen comfort: One block on East 70th Street

Lovers of the Upper East Side know that beauty comes in miniature streetscapes. We don’t have the panoramic vistas of the Grand Canyon (although Park Avenue does offer a splendid long view) .  What we do have is great beauty, culture and peace in contained areas. The block of East 70^th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues, is one such gem.
