The Neighborhood
Lincoln Square
The area of the Upper West Side which includes the West 60's and West 70's is one of the most diverse and dynamic, yet at the same time relaxed and community oriented, neighborhoods in all of Manhattan. Anchored on the south by Columbus Circle, with the Deutsche Bank (formerly Time Warner) Center, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and restaurant and shopping complex, Mount Sinai Hospital, Fordham University and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, to the east by Central Park, to the west by Riverside Boulevard, Riverside Park and the Hudson River, and to the north by the American Museum of Natural History, the Hayden Planetarium and Zabar's, the neighborhood blends an eclectic mix of elegant classic and modern residential living with familiar small business mainstays and some of the most upscale local and national shopping in town, spurred by the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District in its midst. More great restaurants are within easy walking distance than could ever be sampled, and a stroll to Broadway's theater district before or after dinner takes less than 20 minutes. Some of the best public and private schools in the City, from pre-school through graduate school, are close by, as are religious institutions of almost every denomination. Public transportation is easily and plentifully available. In short, not much is more than a stone's throw away.
