"Whether it was Ghostbusters or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, You've Got Mail or When Harry Met Sally, something about the neighborhood makes it a perfect canvas for projecting romance, fantasy, and adventure onto the everyday. It's easy to see why the UWS has played the role of cinematic muse time and time again-green spaces like Central Park and Riverside Park are as close to rolling hills as it gets in the city;"
"You can't get a more New York City morning than grabbing a hot cup of coffee at a classic city diner. Between the New England small town ambience of Good Enough to Eat and the vintage-feeling Art Deco interiors of the appropriately named Old John's Luncheonette, the area is a veritable cornucopia of options for brunching. If you fancy yourself a bit of a traditionalist, check out Tom's Restaurant, which you might recognize from Seinfeld's b-roll transitions."
The Upper West Side blends cinematic history, classic dining, leafy parks, academic life, and family attractions into a cohesive neighborhood. Central Park and Riverside Park provide expansive green spaces that feel like rolling hills within the city. Columbia and Barnard’s adjacent campuses bring a steady stream of students and an academic atmosphere to local businesses. Institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Children's Museum, and the American Folk Art Museum anchor family-friendly cultural activity. Classic diners like Good Enough to Eat, Old John's Luncheonette, and Tom's Restaurant offer traditional New York breakfasts and brunch options.
