The UWS lies between West 59th Street and 110th Street sandwiched between two of the best parks in New York: Central and Riverside Park. I've called this area my home for almost 8 years now. It's commonly known for being the more artistic and lively counterpart to the Upper East Side due to the close proximity of Lincoln Center, having a ton of fun bars and delicious restaurants and easy subway access from all parts of the city. Walking around the hood, you'll instantly notice a friendly neighborhood vibe with a lot of families and 20-30 something's enjoying an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown. During the summer, having access to both parks and being able to picnic, bike and watch the sunset on the Hudson is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Enjoy some of my favorite places in the UWS!
A rustic Italian spot serving small plates & pizza in a main-floor wine bar or a cozy upstairs room.
A variety of ramens, including vegetarian broths, plus rice bowls, pork buns, beer & sake
Part of a no-frills local chain serving pizzas, pasta, calzones, burgers, hoagies, wings & more.
Koko Wings has been an amazing addition to the UWS since one of my guilty pleasures is Korean Fried Chicken. No longer do I have to venture down to Korea Town now! Their chicken is pretty solid with all the usual Korean sides like seafood pancakes, kimchi, bibimbap etc. They do delivery but their actual restaurant is actually pretty cozy and nice to dine in as well. They have Korean beer and nightly specials as well!
