Uptown means in or towards the residential part of a city. Go uptown, an uptown flat, uptown girl.
It is American, and in New York it is literal: uptown is north and downtown is south, so the words are directions on the subway as much as districts. Elsewhere uptown carries a class flavour — quieter, richer, further from the business district. Note downtown, midtown; and that in most British cities none of these words is used at all, which is why they read as unmistakably American.
