Silk Stocking District
I live in the "Silk Stocking District" on the upper east side of Manhattan. The term is an old one, meaning wealthy people who dress expensively.


8 September 1895, New York Times, pg. 17:
Moreover, the "upper west side," which may properly be spoken of as a silkstocking district, is not enthusiastic in its support of Mr. Lamy.
