Upper West Side

Leafy streets, heaps of green space and an intimate neighbourhood atmosphere makes the Upper West Side one of the most sought-after locations in the city.

The Upper West Side is one of Manhattan’s most scenic areas, with a first-class location right near Central Park. Some of New York’s best cultural attractions are here too, from the Lincoln Center and American Folk Art Museum to the American Museum of Natural History. Perfect for casual dining, shopping and nightlife, this neighbourhood is exceptionally liveable, even if for a day.
