Please note a critical update regarding zip codes affecting NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, particularly impacting 525 East 68th Street, and Weill Cornell Medical College. Effective July 1st, the United States Postal Service has implemented new zip codes for the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which directly affects these institutions and surrounding offices between East 61st and East 68th Streets.
Specifically, the area from East 61st Street through East 68th Street, spanning from Fifth Avenue to the East River, has been reassigned the new zip code 10065. This change is crucial for accurate mail delivery and location identification.
For example, the addresses now utilizing the 10065 zip code include:
