Shouldn't there be some mention of the Moon Palace, the Chinese restaurant that used to be on Broadway and ?113th Street? If only for the significance it has taken on through Auster's novel.
Harry's Shoes is a perfectly nice place for Cook to buy cheap shoes. But is this the WikiYellowPages? A more knowlegeable choice would have been "Barney Greengrass the Sturgeon King" Hattie Carnegie was on West 86th Street. Wetman 00:24, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
All you Upper West Siders think you're so clever because your page is bigger than the one for the UES, but all that the length of your article means is that you have more brains and time than things to do. Ta ta, UWS, I'm off to my charity ball.
The Apthorp "severe"? I think it's beautiful, and it's my favorite residential skyscraper in the whole city! Its sister building on the square block between 86th and 87th Sts./Broadway and Amsterdam also deserves mention (but I forget its name offhand).-Michael 10:06, July 09, 2005 (UTC)
Would it be objective or not to mention the takeover of Columbia building farther and farther down the Upper West Side? Because in the last couple years they have been builing more and more housing farther south. On 110th and 103rd, for example. It has to do with the community, I suppose. Also, there was a big uproar in the last year when the Gristede's was closed, and people were worried that the elderly would have to travel much farther up or downtown to get groceries. And then it collapsed due to violations from the builders. Does anyone have an update on that case? Because I know they're building steadily (I pass the construction everyday) but I don't know what the city is doing to the company. -- Al 07:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry, what? I don't understand what you mean (and how do you indent?).-- Al 21:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

An anonymous editor, 68.175.105.8, seems to be attempting to advance the idea that Morningside Heights is not part of the UWS, but rather that it simply a fantasy conjured by real-estate brokers. While I don't strongly disagree with this, I am uncomfortable with this series of edits – including removing a large amount of material from the page – being made without discussion on talk, particularly since it is advancing a determined point of view. Comments? – Joke 20:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Two imaginary "neighborhoods" I'd like to delete in the Geography section the whole discussion of "Lincoln Square" and the "Ansonia neighborhood." First of all, no one refers to the area around LINCOLN CENTER as Lincoln Square. And I've never ever heard anyone call the area around the Ansonia a neighborhood. Any complaints? (QV)
I think a section of "notable residents" would be appropriate on this page. Robertknyc 07:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Certainly we could hark back to the days when "quality" lived on the UWS: Frank Costello, Myer Lansky and Lucky Luciano lived in the Majestic; Polly Adler, the famous madam, first set up shop on Riverside or West End; Alonzo Hannigan - famous as Lon of New York - the 50's/early 60's beefcake photographer lived on West End in Mae West's former apartment; Alan Helms the "Golden Boy" rent boy of the Fifties (A Boy from the Provinces) lived up by Columbia Jfpessoa 23:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I think a conventional definition of the Upper West Side is between 59th Street and 96th Street. We can get into a lot of discussion on whether the northern boundary of the Upper West Side is 96th Street, 110th Street or 120th or 125th Street and this boundary debate should be on this page, but as a representative picture of the Upper West Side, I don't think Toms Restaurant, an establishment technically in Morningside Heights, belongs on thsi page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rtd2101 ( talk • contribs) 22:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
Both the "education" and "Food and Gourmet" sections are becoming outright lists. I propose that we move the education list to a separate page "List of schools on the Upper West Side" and keep the sections for the truly notable - Bank Street, Columbia, Fordham, perhaps 1 or 2 others. As for Food & Gourmet, does it really merit inclusion? -- AndrewHowse 20:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I took off the photo of Tom's Restaurant (Manhattan) since it is on 112th Street. Even the article for Tom's identifies it with Morningside Heights and not the UWS. Surely, there are better photos of the neighborhood than of a diner that isn't even in the hood? K72ndst 23:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Isnt this neighborhood pretty bad on the farthest south (60th streeth) and on 100th street? Especially in the late 80's and early 90's. I remember seeing people get mugged in the streets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.235.16 ( talk) 01:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The black boundary in the map image excludes Manhattan Valley which is part of the UWS. The coordinates here and on wikidata don’t seem to affect the boundary coordinates. Seems it might have something to do with OpenStreetMap. Anyone know how to fix this?

I’m not sure what happened but the opening paragraph of this section does not make any sense.
“Ever since Edward R. Murrow went "Person-to-Person" live, the length of Central Park West in the 1950s, West Siders scarcely pause to gape at on-site trailers, and jump their skateboards over coaxial cables. At one time it seemed that one or another of the various Law & Order shows took up all the available parking spaces in the neighborhood.”
