Top 10 Neighborhoods in New York, United States

January 23, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Meatpacking District

Located on the outskirts of the West Village, this area is becoming more upscale and gentrified.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

In NYC, nothing stands still. Up until the 1970s, the main industry in the Meatpacking District was slaughtering animals . Now its a mega trendy neighbourhood, full of top-end boutiques and fancy bars. The Whitney American art museum is a notable addition to the area. A fun way to get to the Meatpacking District is to take the High Line linear park, an old elevated railway line. The Meatpacking District is in the far west of Manhattan. It runs from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street, and West 14th St south to Gansevoort Street.

Union Square

Union Square has a year-round greenmarket, where you can sample goods from local farmers. It also has several playgrounds, a lively holiday market, and benches where you can watch a slice of New York go by.

SoHo

Reviewed By efexinteriors - New York City, United States

SoHo (an acronym for South of Houston Street) So you can grab coffee and a pastry from one of the many Instagrammable cafes and eateries .Walk back in time, along the cobblestone streets. The city’s most fashionable neighborhood has no shortage of trendy spots for shopping and dining, but careful explorers will find Soho’s true charm in the cobblestone streets, cast-iron architecture, and sweeping lofts and galleries. A creative vibe established by the neighborhood’s resident artists and the pulse of downtown NYC at your fingertips. A NYC MUST !!!!!!!!

Greenwich Village

Like a small town within Manhattan, the Village has narrow tree-lined streets and brick townhouses.

Reviewed By HappyLouTraveler

A trip to NYC is not complete without visiting Greenwich Village. So much to see, depending upon the weather, of course. Great cafes and unusual little stores, Christopher St, “Alphabet City” to the East, NYU’s campus buildings, Washington Square Park and the grand archway, outstanding comedy clubs, great restaurants, nice boutiques, historic buildings, delightful brownstones, superb falafel, and great people watching! Just take the subway to Christopher St and start zigzag-wandering east... so much to see! Enjoy!

Upper West Side

Trendy area with cafes, restaurants and fashionable shops.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

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.

Park Slope

Reviewed By robertlX6978PT - Wiltshire, United Kingdom

We walked up Park Slope and marvelled at the luxurious houses. Two attractions for me were the huge cooperative food store and Annies garden, communal land used by a team of volunteers to grow fruit and vegetables; you can wander in and there are seats to take in the ambiance. In England we would call this area allotments. Park Slope leads to the Brooklyn Museum, Library and Botanical Gardens and of course the Prospect Park is a huge recreational area.

Williamsburg

Reviewed By chefdino - West Vancouver, Canada

Had a great afternoon wandering around the riverside in Williamsburg. Grabbed the L Train in lower Manhattan for a quick 15 min ride into Brooklyn. Great old brownstones, and building facades with so much character. The views of the New York skyline was fantastic. Enjoyed seeing all of the wall art as we walked about 12 km. Went to artists and fleas a local flea market where budding artists show there wares.
