Inwood

Northern tip of the Island. The closest New Yorkers will ever get to upstate and still not find parking. Many visitors will find themselves getting lost on an upward climb to a medieval castle called, The Cloisters. They will write a postcard to their mother, sigh, and come back down to where the people live. Here, home is so much more. Inwood offers panoramic views of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers, an amazing annual (although softly illegal) Fourth of July fireworks show, a historic farmhouse, farm-to-table cooking, craft beer, the best reading spots in New York City, and a friendly and diverse community well-versed in the uptown art of waiting for the A train.

Close your eyes and pick your favorite neighborhood spot. This is mine. It is magical here. Forget that you live in New York City. Get lost. In the summer, enjoy Mister Softee parked outside the baseball field. In the winter, go sledding with all the kids. Over double the size of the more well known, Fort Tyron Park, Inwood Hill Park is a beautiful staple of Inwood. With 196 acres, there is something for everyone: Trails to hike or run on, benches to relax on, baseball fields to play on, forest areas to discover plant life, and hills for picnics and sun-bathing. It's solace among the city's chaos and noise. It isn’t overly manicured or overly populated. It feels like an enormous backyard. Depending on where you enter, you can see the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. Main entrances include: Dyckman Street and the Hudson River, and on 207th Street at Seaman Avenue and Isham Street.
