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!

I think I honestly spent 12 hours at The Dead Poet one St. Patrick's Day so you know that it's good. It's a relatively small bar that is narrow and can get packed pretty fast. In the back, they have tables with taps that you can reserve and have a free pour of beer which is amazing for celebrations. You just pay how much you pour at the end of the night. Not only do they have great Irish/Non-Irish beers on taps, they have some really creative cocktails based on famous authors that are pretty potent(try the Edgar Allen Poe). They don't have a kitchen there, but you can order from their sister bar down the street. Try the fish and chips!
