Set between Central Park and Riverside Park, the Upper West Side has many landmark apartment houses: the prewar co-ops of Central Park West, Riverside Drive and West End Avenue, and brownstone side streets in between. Broadway and Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues carry most of the shops and restaurants.
Cultural institutions include Lincoln Center at the southern edge and the American Museum of Natural History on Central Park West. Riverside Park and Hudson River Park run along the western edge, and the 1, 2, 3, B and C lines connect the neighborhood to Midtown and Downtown.
