Documentary filming in Yorkville

Does anyone have any information about a documentary being filmed in the neighborhood? I've seen camera crews in some of the bars in the past week following around a few people and doing some kind of narrative. Existent80 02:44, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Citing sources

This article is informative but poorly cited. Some statements cry out for citation: the attribution of the highest robbery rate in Manhattan, for example. Bombyx 01:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what does unhip means??

Where is Yorkville in re: Lenox Hill?

I thought about starting a stub for Lenox Hill, Manhattan, since it's redlinked in the Manhattan neighborhood template, but then it realized it would be redundant with this article. This NYT piece declares Upper East Side east of 3rd Ave as Lenox Hill, which is pretty much what Yorkville is, according to this article.

Now, I know they're not one and the same, since I hear the two mentioned separately, but where are the borders? Help would be appreciated. Mosmof 19:01, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

59th Street?/Southern Boundary

As a lifelong resident of yorkville, and someone who has read up on the history of the neighborhood using both the internet and books, I've never once heard anything south of 70th street being referenced as yorkville. Regularjohn july 24, 2007

I've edited the article to say that 72nd street is the rough southern border of yorkville Regularjohn 17:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just updated the southern boundary in the article to reflect that there is some disagreement as to its precise location. I have seen maps, articles, and books that refer to 59th Street as the southern boundary. And, I have always considered it to be so. However, given that others are saying it is 72nd, I think it would be ok just to say locals disagree. Can we agree on that? JDL10128 - 7 January, 2008.

My $.02: I wouldn't consider south of 72nd Yorkville, and even 72nd is a stretch. I'd say it's much closer to 79th-96th. 66.57.252.97 (talk) 18:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are many sources citing 59th Street as the southern border. For instance, look at the WPA Guide to New York City, a reputable guide to the city. That book puts the southern border at 59th Street. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.7.10.43 (talk) 23:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yorkville - the nostalgia section from the late 50's and early 60's

A web site about the community Yorkville on the east side of Manhattan that we grew up in years ago. Check out the pictures, share some memories, and join some of the conversations from old friends from the old neighborhood. Most of us remember many of the good times from back then but don't recall most of the items mentioned on the Yorkville of today.

We're constantly adding content to the old neighborhood web pages. We were mentioned on these pages as a source of material anbd pictures from the neighborhhod.

If you want to share in some of what real memories are all about, then click on this link below:

St. Joseph’s

The NYT seems to claim St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church on East 87th Street was a major center for German Catholics in Yorktown "from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century".
