I live on a street that runs parallel to amsterdam avenue, near the cross street of 133rd. Amsterdam from 125th to 145th, is pretty much dead. Some points of interest - at Amsterdam and 128th street, there is a live poultry market. In the four years I've li...

Lively, A Bit Noisy, Lots To See

I'm going to focus on Amsterdam Avenue between about 95th to 109th Street since that is where I lived. It's a very ethnically diverse neighborhood. Older buildings. Visit the Ayurveda Cafe at 94th Street for a wonderful vegetarian Indian menu. The American You...

a vibrant community

By bselig on Mar 29, 2007
3.5/5
Affordable public housing abounds on Amsterdam Ave. and a vibrant crack-cocaine trade makes the atmosphere feel like a bustling old European marketplace, a touch of the old world in the heart of NYC, highly recommended
