Neighborhoods

To show me a lot of things my sister took me to many places in the Manhattan. Sometimes I felt tired but she didn't stop..OMG but now It became valuable memories. I consider that how I can explain you this Gotham city easily then thought that noticing infromation following each neighborhood is easy way.

Map Neighborhoods

Halem& Moriningside Height
 With Central Park as its the center west side is the Morningside Heights and east side is the Halem. Colombia university and many parks locate at the west side. And Halem was called a crime ridden district at once but if you visit in the day time and do not go 150-160streets, you can see the normal place.

Upper West Side 

The West Side remains a desirable neighborhood with a reputation for attracting intellectuals, and much of the city’s best residential architecture. The creation of Lincoln Center in the 1950s was a great boost, and the American Museum of Natural History is also a draw

Midtown - The lights of Times Square, the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, Rockefeller Center, the United Nations Headquarters, stores on 5th Avenue, museums, theaters, and grand buildings galore – all are found in the midtown area between 34th and 59th streets, extending from the East River as far as Broadway. The concentration of attractions makes this the most important area of the city for visitors, and many a day can be spent taking in the sights.Midtown also reflects the city’s characteristic diversity, with attractions that range from the bustling retail of the Diamond District, to the stately halls of the New York Public Library.

Chelsea -Buildings along 6th Avenue are now occupied by superstores and discount outlets, and to the west, Chelsea Piers has transformed the waterfront. Uptown, the Garment District begins around 27th Street, with Herald Square and Macy’s at the heart of the city’s busiest shopping area.

Union Square&Gramarcy -Union Square, once a hangout for drug dealers and scene of protest rallies, has been renovated and transformed. A Greenmarket fills the square with fresh produce four times a week, drawing patrons from all over the city,Quiet Madison Square, opposite the Flatiron Building, is the site of two of the city’s hottest restaurants and home to the public square, Madison Square Park. 

Greenwich Village - The Village have been home to artists and writers. Jazz musicians, beat poets, and performers like the young Bob Dylan found their places here. Later it became popular with gays, and today cafés and funky shops attract the young from all over the city. The village really comes to life at night, when cafés, theaters, and clubs beckon at every turn

Upper East Side - Most of the older Beaux Arts mansions around 5th Avenue are now occupied by embassies or museums; For visitors, the Upper East Side is home to many of the city’s best museums.

Soho  - SoHo (South of Houston) has also come full circle. The empty loft spaces first drew artists, then galleries, then crowds of browsers and the restaurants to serve them. The new chic image quickly drove up rents and drove out many galleries. Some remain, and the streets are lined with designer clothing and home furnishing boutiques, maintaining SoHo’s lure as the city’s favorite Sunday brunch-and-browse neighborhood. Both areas boast the cast-iron architecture that is a New York specialty.

China Town&Little Italy -  Little Italy has dwindled to a few blocks, but it is still an atmospheric center of authentic Italian food and shops, especially on a warm night, when cafés set out sidewalk tables and the songs of Napoli fill the air. Chinatown up to 150,000 Chinese live there, in crowded quarters. The shops and sidewalk markets overflow with exotic foods and herbs.

Civic Center and South Street Seaport

Some of New York’s finest architecture is found at its Civic Center, the headquarters for city government. Nearby is the famous Brooklyn Bridge, and the old maritime center of the city, South Street Seaport,
