10 Sights & Landmarks in Upper West Side That You Shouldn't Miss
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Our son, who works on Wall Street, lives on the Upper West Side. It's a family-friendly neighborhood. It's said that when you have children, you leave Manhattan Island for the suburbs, but the Upper West Side is a good option for families. Apart from Central Park West, there are a host of community facilities, including shops and museums. Many well-known people have lived on the Upper West Side, including the late Beatle John Lennon. We walked everywhere and never felt threatened.

9. The Carlebach Shul
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 2 reviews
The uniqueness of The Carlebach Shul lies in its ability to bring together and inspire a wide spectrum of the Jewish population. The unaffiliated Jew, the modern-orthodox, the traditional Chassid, as well as a host of Scholars-In-Residence all come to pray, sing, dance and learn together in an environment that embodies holiness, spirituality and joy.
