Upper West Side and Columbus Circle

 

Columbus Circle Upper West Side and West Side YMCA 

 

The Upper West Side is not your stereotypical New York neighborhood. Its tree-lined streets, small cafés, bookstores, and modern design give it a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere from the rest of Manhattan. The Upper West Side is home to places like Lincoln Center and American Museum of Natural History. It is also considered one of the cultural hubs of Manhattan. The Upper West Side is one of Manhattan’s high-end neighborhoods. 

 

Just south of the Upper West Side lies Columbus Circle which has a completely different mood. It’s bright, busy, and filled with people. It is a major tourist destination and traffic circle located at the southwest corner of Central Park where Broadway, Central Park West, and 8th Avenue meet. The most famous part of Columbus Circle is a monument of Christopher Columbus made in 1892. The other three main things around the Circle are the USS Maine National Monument, Trump International Hotel and Tower and The Deutsche Bank Center.  







 

The West Side YMCA is Community Center located on The Upper West Side near Columbus Circle. It has a wide range of programs from sports to art for every age group. It also has a dormitory which was quite a culture shock. The staff was welcoming, though, and the gym looked great. I probably wouldn’t stay there again but would happily use their other services.
