NYC's Upper, Lower, and mid- East Sides

[Joel S. Berson]

Where did New Yorkers use to place, and where do they now place --

the Upper East Side?  Do I correctly remember a definition of "above
96th Street"?

the Lower East Side?  Below what?

the mid East Side?  And what term is used for that region?  (Aside
from "the fashionable East Side".)
