Upper West Side

The Upper West Side is located west of Central Park and north of Columbus circle. The Upper West Side is a living montage of New York life. The area has an abundance of restaurants, cafes and movie theaters. There is the city's greatest arts complex, the Lincoln Center - venue to Jazz and theater performance, and the home of the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic, New York City Opera, and Avery Fisher Hall.

There is the Museum of Natural History, the stuffed animals and dinosaur skeletons of which are a time-honored favorite for children. There are two large Barnes & Noble bookstores. There are top culinary outlets like Zabar's and Fairway. And there are plenty of health clubs, trendy bars and good bagel shops to enjoy.

On top of this, there are also good public schools, two large parks - Central and Riverside - and a large variety of good-sized apartments and classic brownstones. All this makes the Upper West Side, which stretches from West 59th up to 96th Street and beyond, one of New York's most attractive districts, for both singles and families. Indeed Central Park West has in recent years become one of New York's most desirable addresses, rivaling Fifth Avenue in its lavishness, views, and proximity to amenities.
