The Upper West Side is a very fashionable and pristine residential area. Starting at the southwestern foot of Central Park, the neighborhood begins with more modern high-rises then flowers outward to a mix of pre and a few post-war buildings, the largest ones being on Broadway, West End and Riverside Drive. It is bordered by the luscious Riverside Park and easily accessible by the 1 Train. It is a beautiful area replete with trendy restaurants, bars and shopping.
