The Upper West Side:
The Upper West Side boundaries are 59th Street to the South, 110th Street to the North, Central Park West to the East and the Hudson River to the West.
The Upper West Side neighborhood has a different spirit and outlook than the Upper East Side. The Upper West Side is known for its individuality, creativity, diversity and cultural pursuits.
The Upper West Side is home to some extraordinary buildings. Landmarks of Art Deco, Beaux Arts, or Gothic Revival architecture, the great celebrity apartment buildings of Central Park West.
The Dakota, El Dorado, The San Remo Apartments, The Ansonia, The Oliver Cromwell, The Langham, The Kenilworth, Hotel Des Artistes, The Beresford and The Ardsley.
Central Park West, Riverside Drive and West End Avenue have always been known for their grand large apartments. The Upper West Side is a diversified neighborhood attractive to every demographic and lifestyle.
The Lincoln Center complex is home to the Metropolitan Opera and Julliard School of Music, Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, the New York City Ballet and the Vivian Beaumont Theater.
The American Museum of Natural History is located on a stretch of Central Park West and Columbus Avenue between 77th and 81st Streets.
The museum's new Hayden Planetarium is a galactic spectacular and is well worth the invested time.
It is a true pleasure to walk along the Upper West Side and take advantage of the well established blocks, boutiques, and restaurants. The Upper West side is known for it's food emporiums.
My favorites are: Fairway, Zabars, Citarella and the famous H&H Bagels all located on upper Broadway.

Mitchell, You get the absolute BEST shots of the City, I am never able to capture it that way! Time for me to come in again, I'm missing Central Park :)
Carole, Thanks. My iPhone takes the best pictures.
Mitchell, when I ran away from home (Topeka, Kansas) to New York, my first day in Manhattan, I walked into Zabars - and the pickle smell was just wonderful! You don't find the pickle barrel in too many DC delis, but when I do, it brings me back to that day a real long time ago!
Pat, When you enter Zabars you know You're not in Kansas Anymore!
Oh Mitchell, I love your pictures and your posts!!! I love Zabars, Citarella and crave my H&H bagels. I did find a deli near me that has H&H bagels. :)
Hi Barbara, Thank you. I'm glad you found H&H bagels in Florida. I tried the south beach diet (giving up bread) but I couldn't go without a bagel for too long.
