NEIGHBORHOOD
Washington Heights is the Manhattan neighborhood just north of Harlem from 155th Street to Inwood up to Dyckman Street, bordered by the Hudson River to the west, and the Harlem River and Coogan’s Bluff to the east.
The area is known for its hills and the cliffs—a real change of scenery for Manhattanites. Although it requires a commute to reach this far-uptown escape, the neighborhood’s community feel, and plainspoken demeanor make up for the distance.
Interestingly, this upper-Manhattan neigh-borhood has recently replaced Brooklyn as an attractive alternative for many millennials, boasting more millennials than any other neighborhood, with 50,103 residents age 20 to 34, comprising 10 percent of the area’s population, the latest US Census data show.
AMENITIESA growing count of urban escapists and next-generation locals will attest: there are plenty of things to love about life in Washington Heights.
Bennett Park is the location of the highest natural point in Manhattan, as well as a commemoration on the west side of the park of the walls of Fort Washington, which are marked in the ground by stones with an inscription that reads: “Fort Washington Built And Defended By The American Army 1776.” Land for the park was donated by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the publisher of the New
York Herald. His father, James Gordon Bennett, Sr., bought the land and was previously the Herald’s publisher. Bennett Park hosts an annual Harvest Festival in September and a children’s Halloween Parade – with trick-or-treating afterwards – on Halloween.
The neighborhood’s best-known cultural asset is The Cloisters—located in Fort Tryon Park—where the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibits its collection of Medieval art among serene walkways, dramatic Medieval architecture and leafy paths. You’ll find plenty of parks here, including Bennett Park, Fort Tyron Park, Fort Washington Park and Riverfront Park. Artists from Washington Heights and the surrounding communities participate in the annual Uptown Arts Stroll each summer, and there are several branches of the New York Public Library.
Many small shops are located on West 181st Street at the southern end of the neighborhood, and all along Broadway. In the middle of the neighborhood itself, there is a small shopping area at West 187th Street between Cabrini Boulevard and Fort Washington Avenue.
News of Upper Manhattan is published weekly in The Manhattan Times, a bilingual newspaper. Its annual restaurant guide highlights the area’s burgeoning restaurant scene. Events are also listed in the Washington Heights & Inwood Online calendar.
