New York City’s Upper West Side is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan.

So what’s it like to live in the Upper West Side, and what exactly is this neighborhood known for? The local dining scene is superb, featuring a vast landscape of restaurants representing every style and flavor imaginable, most of which are affordable enough to become regular stops.
