StreetAdvisor - your street, your voice

The Upper West is supposed to be the “new money” side of town, but if you don’t really have money of any age, trust me, it’s all the same to you. This street isn’t particularly appealing to a tourist – but there are plenty of realty and medical offices for residents (or potential residents).
The cool thing about West60th is that it’s right near the south end of Central Park, and it’s close to the ritzy shops of the east side.

If you like to Rollerblade in Hudson River Park and you live near 60th street, do not use it as an entrance! The street heading down to the West Side Highway is at a very steep slant, and i think that even the most experienced bladers or bikers would have some trouble keeping their speed down. Further inland, this street boasts Colombus Circle and and entrance to Central Park, which is also quite good for Rollerblading or bike riding. It is a fairly friendly area of midtown, with high rise apartment buildings and a fair good many restaurants and bars for those who enjoy the nightlife. As has become common with the upper west side, it is quiet at night, so it is a nice area for families to live. I highly recommend the Time Warner Center for a whole new kind of mall experience. This place makes you feel fancy when you shop.
