If you are into the youthful, hip, trendy (though less trendier than the West Village), then definitely choose the Upper West Side.
If you are more reserved, have friends that are more on the affluent scale of things, then that is the Upper East Side.

Either one is great, depending on the neighborhood, if you gave a cross street I'd have a better idea. Upper west is generally more liberal but i disagree with the person who said it has a younger vibe because again it depends on the neighborhood, for instance the part of the upper east side where i work has a business, almost midtown feel, but blocks away it's very posh, and blocks up it has vestiges of classic harlem- abandonment and decrepit buildings- as well as charming brownstones and ordinary sort of mom and pop bodegas. i also love the west side because it has Amsterdam and Broadway- infinite things to do like all of nyc. Good luck choosing!

I would say the Upper West Side, because the Upper East Side is for the rich, and there only one subway line on the whole Upper East Side. Besides the UWS is much more hipper than the UES.

I'd say the U.West Side has a younger vibe, with more interesting shopping.
