So says Newsweek here.

Funny. I thought Newsweek was over.

The hippest hood in the city is now ....  the Upper Eastside! Surely you knew that. They cite a story in Daily Beast, which quotes some guy who lives there. So must be true.

I didn't make it past the lead picture's caption: "Hipsters hanging out at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Museum of Art."

A. Nobody should look to newsweek for anything about trends/fashion/coolness

B. Can a neighborhood be 'over' if it never was really 'in'?

C. A hipster must be making an irony joke saying the UES is now hip.  Perhaps the most sterile anti-hip area of any boro.

The joke I would always make to friends is, "PH remains cool despite the fact that we live there."  I guess our run is finally over.  Sorry about that, guys.
