North of 59th Street and encompassing everything west of Central Park, the Upper West Side contains Lincoln Center, arguably the world's premier performing-arts venue; the American Museum of Natural History, whose renovated Dinosaur Halls garner justifiably rave reviews; and a number of mid-priced hotels whose larger-than-midtown rooms and nice residental location make them particularly good bets for families. Unlike the more stratified Upper East Side, the Upper West Side is home to an egalitarian mix of middle-class yuppiedom, laid-back wealth (lots of celebs and monied media types call the grand apartments along Central Park West home), and ethnic families who were here before the gentrification.

The neighborhood runs all the way up to Harlem, around 125th Street, and encompasses Morningside Heights, where you'll find Columbia University and the perennial construction project known as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. But prime Upper West Side--and the part you're most likely to explore--is the area running from Columbus Circle at 59th Street into the 80s, between the park and Broadway. North of 59th Street is where Eighth Avenue becomes Central Park West, the eastern border of the neighborhood (and the western border of Central Park); Ninth Avenue becomes Columbus Avenue, lined with attractive boutiques and cafes; and Tenth Avenue becomes Amsterdam Avenue, less appealing than Columbus to the east and less trafficked than bustling Broadway to the west, whose highlights are the gourmet mega-marts Zabar's and Fairway. You'll find Lincoln Center at the lower end of the neighborhood, in the mid-60s, where Broadway cross-cuts Amsterdam.

Two major subway lines service the area: the 1, 2, 3, 9 line runs up Broadway, while the B and C trains run up glamorous Central Park West, stopping right at the historic Dakota apartment building (where John Lennon was shot and Yoko still lives, albeit without an all-grown-up Sean) at 72nd Street, and at the Museum of Natural History at 81st Street.

Upper West Side

Home to such venerable New York landmarks as Lincoln Center, Columbia University and St. John the Divine Cathedral, the Upper West Side stretches from 59th Street to 123rd Street, including Morningside Heights. Its eastern boundary is Central Park; its western boundary is the Hudson River.
