⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking Tour of the Upper West Side from Midtown Manhattan to Columbia University via Broadway

Enjoy this virtual walking tour of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I start from Midtown, and walk along Broadway to Columbia University at 116th Street.

From Wikipedia:
"The Upper West Side, sometimes abbreviated UWS, is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, that lies between Central Park and the Hudson River and between West 59th Street and West 110th Street.

Like the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side is an affluent, primarily residential area with many of its residents working in commercial areas of Midtown and Lower Manhattan. It has the reputation of being New York City's cultural and intellectual hub, with Columbia University and Barnard College located just past the north end of the neighborhood, and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts located at the south end. The Upper West Side is considered to be among New York City's wealthiest neighborhoods."

This was wonderful! I was born and grew up, the first ten years of my life (1951-1961) on the upper west side.
You past my neighborhood, west 109th street. Went to the Ascention catholic grammar school on west 108th
Played at Riverside park. It still is a great looking place. You ended right in front of Columbia U- my aunt used to work at Barnard, across from it in the mid to late 1950s. Had lunch many times in student cafeteria. Wow!
Thanx so much for this! You’re great! :)

Looking straight down the block I live on. 29:54 And I thank the gods every day that I do. Most amazing city on earth.

[defiance]

I especially love your commentary I hope you do that on more vids !!

[kaylevan]

What a great way of learning about a place, thank you look forward to seeing more. I love the walking tours.

That transitioning from summer moisture and heat to autumn's low light, is reflected in the pedestrian, where in one frame a guy in shorts can be seen passing another in down jacket and scarf (05:18). I like this time of year. It is also reflected in the jovial mood of the fellow pedestrians. I think more people warmed up to the camera and waved in this clip, then in the last 10 clips put together. Nice walk, 105.

Very nice ride, and high quality video. Very thanks !

[mirit]

You are AWESOME!!!! We kept hoping you'd do another UWS!!! Thank you!!!

[maureenohanlon]

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I used to live at 2728 Broadway and haven't seen the old block in years. I think Columbia had bought the building in the early 80's.

you inspire me to make me want to move to NYC thank you for your time and effort for others to enjoy the awesomeness of NYC :)

[ronnieo]

Right past my old place. Thanks for this was at 103rd and Broadway. Now in Bangkok.

Very nice video! Very modern section with the Metropolitan tower section and I'm so glad to see that hipster athleisure fashion is starting to diminish! The fashion is starting to look a lot better in general than 2017. I'm glad to see that the Hero 7 is performing wonderfully with long length 4k60p videos!
