As New York City’s population expanded in the late 1800s & early1900s, the need for housing grew. The Upper West Side was sparsely populated and ripe for residential development.

This residential feel is still present today, as evidenced by the large pre-war apartment buildings and brownstones that line the neighborhood’s quieter streets.

However, it would be a miss to skip this iconic NYC neighborhood! With decidedly local eateries, world-famous museums, 2 gorgeous parks, and a glimpse of daily life in New York City, you’re bound to fall in love with all that sets the Upper West Side apart from other NYC neighborhoods.

Visit the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Cathedral of St. John the Divine

When you think about New York City and Cathedrals, St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the first one that comes to mind. It’s not only the largest cathedral in NYC, but it’s also the largest gothic-style cathedral in the U.S, as well as a popular spot when visiting New York City at Christmas.

But there’s another Cathedral on the Upper West Side that should also be on your list of places to see. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine majestically rises up on the corner of 112th street & Amsterdam avenue. The Cathedral grounds are immense, too!

Humans and Animals at the American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History is a symbol of the city and a top place to visit in NYC.

I remember first visiting as a kid on a school trip completely in awe while walking through the exhibition halls. Many return trips later, the halls are just as fascinating!

The Museum of Natural History is located right across the street from Central Park at W.81st Street. A great day on the Upper West Side in NYC is combining a museum visit with time in Central Park.
