Donald McGeachy Inc.

Yorkville’s side streets hold more than brownstones and bistros—sometimes a storefront blends into the block until you notice the neon sign for Donald McGeachy Inc. Tucked at 502A E 84th St, this electrician’s shop has been a quiet fixture on the Upper East Side for decades. They handle everything from panel upgrades to outlet repairs, and if your circuit breaker keeps tripping or you need a new fixture wired, they’re the ones neighbors call before the problem becomes a weekend project. A quick walk from Second Avenue, the address is easy to overlook; most people spot it only when they need it. Their number, (212) 249-0999, is the kind you scribble on a scrap of paper and hope you never have to use—until the lights flicker. For directions, pull up the map; it’s the sort of place that feels like a secret, even though everyone on the block already knows it.
