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!

Cotta is a beautiful Italian restaurant with a really cool layout that reminds me of a cozy Italian courtyard. When you walk in, you'll notice instantly the high ceilings, rustic design and open aired kitchen. There is an adorable upstairs area as well with plenty of seating and a lounge as well. The food is incredible and affordable. Almost everything i've had there is hearty and tasty. Check out the pizza's and risotto balls which are pretty. Cotta is always a great place to go with a group of people or on an intimate date. Highly recommended.
