"Good Place For Young And Vibrant"

Wash Heights is not as far away from the rest of NYC as it looks...20 minutes to midtown by A express train. The neighborhood is young and lively thanks to Columbia University's large health sciences campus on 168th and Broadway, and the surrounding dorms. There is the wonderful Riverside Park just 10 minutes away, and biking and jogging is ever present throughout the neighborhood. Food choices are not incredible, but Plum Pomidor, In Vino Veritas, and the famous Tasty Deli for a delicious hero at lunch will do. Coogans is a great place to test out your Hotel California rendition on Thursday karaoke nights. Plus, rent is cheaper than anywhere else in Manhattan. I would seriously recommend this neighborhood for anyone looking for a pleasant, inexpensive up-and-comer.
