Most neighborhoods have just one go-to-person for residents, but on the Upper East Side there are two — a married couple of 50 years who are known as the mayors of the East 60s. NY1's Michael Scotto has story in the final part of our series, "One City, Many Mayors."

Barry and Judy Schneider do everything together — and not just because they've been married 50 years.

They run the East Sixties Neighborhood Association. Most days, they can be seen walking hand-in-hand through the Upper East Side, tidying up lampposts and checking the work they've done.

They've been the unofficial mayors of the East Sixties, from 3rd Ave. to the East River, since they founded the Neighborhood Association in 1991.

At a party to celebrate the group's silver anniversary, the politicians who showed up said the Schneiders are not shy about reaching out.

"They know my number, they have it on speed dial, they frequently get on the phone together as a tag team," City Councilman Dan Garodnick of Manhattan said. "And it is a great pleasure when it happens, and it happens regularly."

The Schneiders' community activism started on 63rd and 2nd. It was there that they convinced the MTA not to turn a vacant land into a parking lot. 

The MTA now uses the lot, formerly a sculpture garden. The Schneiders hope it will one day become a park.

"This is what got us started," Judy said. "We got up early, we went to work, had dinner, went to sleep, went to work."

"Took care of our son," Barry said.

Barry currently is listed as the group's president. They playfully insist they're not co-leaders.

"No, he's the president and I'm the vice president," said Judy. "He gives me whatever he doesn't want to do."

"I come up with the ideas, and Judy executes them," Barry said.

They sometimes dress alike, and often complete each's other's thoughts:

Judy: The construction on York Avenue —

Barry: — or bicycles.

Working together has strengthened their marriage, they say. And when asked why they've lived in the area for half-a-century, they respond:

Barry: My wife.

Judy: My husband.

A pair, traveling through the neighborhood — and life — together.
