Great Area for a Night Out / Young Couple Living

Amsterdam Avenue in this area is very lively and great for older couples. It's full of upscale restaurants, movie theaters, and really close to Lincoln Center which is really a treat. There's much relaxing strolling to be done in the area. You're sure to catch a great view of the sunset on the Hu...

Like most places in NY - it depends where you are - how the street is!

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 lived here, a chicken once escaped and ran...

If you're ever up around w 125th and Amsterdam, stop by Golden Krust. The jerk chicken is pretty good, but the coconut bread is to die for. Hooray for Harlem. Just the name of the place and the history associated with it (and the name's reputation) makes it seem more exciting, but it really isn't...

Amsterdam Avenue is a place where people love to come again and again, to get relief from their tension and work load, it the only place where they really feel relaxed.

Speaking as a resident of the Upper West Side, Amsterdam Avenue is a great place to go to eat at a nice restaurant and feel relaxed while doing it. There is a stretch of great breakfast places including Good Enough to Eat, Sarabeth's, Popover Cafe, and Barney Greengrass. If it's lunch you're looking...

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 Youth Hostel building is at 104th Street. A...

a vibrant community

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
