The Upper West Side is located above 59th Street (North of Columbus Circle) and west of Central Park up to 116th Street. The Upper West Side is host to a number of great attractions and is the cultural heart of Manhattan. Among the many attractions are: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the Metropolitan Opera House, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the Lincoln Center Theatre, The Juilliard School, Fordham University, American Museum of Natural History, the New York Historical Society, and the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Young families are a quite common as the neighborhood's good schools, convenient parks and the plentiful shops and retailers. There is a wonderful mix of cultures and ages all with attitude and lots of personality. The neighborhood has locals that have never been afraid to speak up and act on the condition of their community. Broadway legends like Zabar's at 81st and Fairway at 74th as well as Gracious Home on 67th, Balducci's on 66th Street and two monster Barnes & Noble at 66th and 83rd Streets are now side by side with the old neighborhood favorites - undeniably adding to the community's patchwork. There's no dearth of restaurants -including those with kid's menus. An overabundance of health clubs, trendy bars and one-of-a-kind boutiques. |
