If you are looking for various ways to entertain yourself or to take part in something, this street has it. One area of the street contains schools. Another area contains a hospital for pets, and a hospital for humans.

It doesn't matter what you are looking for, if you want it, you might just find it here.

The one thing you may like about this area is that it is very commercialized. There are blocks upon blocks of commercial establishments. You can take your pick of what you like to do since there are many different stores, delis, etc., to look at and go into.

The downside to this place is that some sections of this street are dirty, while construction is going on in other parts of the street.

If you have children, you will like this area, for there are a few schools along this street. This means there are plenty of kids for your children to play with.

The housing is not too bad either. If you are looking for a great shopping experience, you won't find it on the street, but if you go down Broadway, you will find plenty of places to go to.

If you are wondering what MNH means, it refers to the American Museum of Natural History. Every body flocks there to see that place. If you are a history buff, you will like what you see here.

The biggest problem is getting to it, especially by car. Traveling by car is not going to work. There are too many cars in Manhattan as it is. Your best bet is to come into the city by bus or path train to Broadway and 34th St. Then take an uptown bus to 81st St. Then take a M79 bus to the museum.

When I went through this area, the one thing I noticed was the number of businesses I found. I found a different business on every block. There are delis, small stores, restaurants, diners, and many other kinds of commercial facilities. There are also residential buildings in the area as well.

This street has a lot to offer anyone.

Most of W. 79th Street is made up of commercial facilities. But there are residential facilities here and there. The biggest attraction though, is the American Museum of Natural History.

People, no matter where they came from, ended up at the museum. You would not believe the traffic that day I drove down the street. At least there was a nice restaurant on the street near Broadway I could go to since I was hungry.

If you travel down W. 78th Street, you may be happy to see what comes up at the end. The biggest attraction for anyone to see is the American Museum of Natural History. Although, you can gain access to it from W. 77th Street as well, the place covers a few blocks, so you can also end up reaching it at the end of W. 78th Street.

If you go in the opposite direction, you will run into school systems, particularly Collegiate School.

The greatest and most often visited sport on W. 77th Street is the American Museum of Natural History. Everybody goes to this museum. Why not. It has a lot of history.

It is hard to park around the area. You may have to seek out a parking garage. But I'll tell you, with what you will find at the American Museum of Natural History, whatever you have to do to get there, will be worth it.

If you like the idea of living in an upscale and classy neighborhood, you will like the UWS. It has a lot to offer anyone. Stores, shopping centers, theaters. You name it, you will find it in this area.

Also, Riverside Park is a nice diversion to the stress of the city. Definitely a place worth checking out.

If you like nice neighborhoods, you'll like W. 76th Street. It has a lot of greenery and nice clean streets. It also has some commercial establishments. It really is a nice neighborhood to walk in. You can experience seeing so many things. The big attraction I think is the NY State Historical Society at the end of W. 74th Street and Central Park West. It has a lot to offer anyone, who likes to learn a lot of NYC history.

What can I tell you. If you don't mind busy people coming and going, you won't mind being here. There really is a lot to offer. Many stores to choose from. There are even theaters to go to. I think it is a great place, especially if you are a tourist.

The downside is there are a whole lot of tourist around and people in general. Plus, it is hard to park since so many come here in their cars.

Some sections of W. 74th Street has apartments for residents. But many blocks have commercial establishments. Also, some blocks are decent to walk, while other blocks are not that great. I think it is up to the beholder to decide what he likes and doesn't like about the place.

Plus, when I approach people along the way, they snubbed me and kept on going. To me, the place is too busy, but that is the way I see it.

This street has a lot of apartment buildings, but what is even more amazing are the schools on the street. Each school system that was found had a large playground for kids to play in. This really made the area convenient for the students.

I would definitely recommend this street for parents with children.

If you drive up W. 143rd Street, you will find something rather unique about the street. Despite a bunch of apartment buildings lining the streets, the most sought after area on the street is what lies between Harlem River Drive and Malcolm X Blvd.

At this location is a huge park. During the summer many people hang out here. If you have kids, they will love to be there. In fact, you may find your kids there playing baseball or basketball.

If you have kids and are looking for schools to place them in, you will find a lot of schools on W. 141st St. Nearly every block there is a school.

You will also see many apartment buildings in the area. W. 141st Street goes a long way. It is not a shortcut to another street. It goes a ways. But the highlight of the street is when it goes by the Hamilton Granger National Memorial. That alone is worth driving on the street.

If you like a mixed bag, you will be glad to go to W. 142nd St. It has a little bit of everything. You will find apartment buildings lined up one after another on certain blocks. You will find grocery stores and other commercial establishments at street corners, and you will also find a few industrial buildings along the way.

I can't forsake the schools. There are a couple of schools located on the street, especially where the street ends near Bradhurst Avenue and 5th Avenue.

If you ever come to the west side of the Bronx, especially near the Hamilton Heights, and you are driving, come up to W. 140th Street. You will find it something else.

Much of the street has a ton of apartment buildings. In fact, they line the street for a few blocks. But you will also discover something else as well. There are a lot of schools on the street. nearly every block contains a school.

And there are some commercial establishments as well.

But a big part of the street, well not exactly a big part because it isn't on the street itself, but connects to it, is the Hamilton Grange National Memorial. It is breath-taking.

I would definitely recommend it to others, especially to families with children.

W. 172nd Street appears on the map to go a distance, but in reality, it goes from Nelson Avenue to Jessup Avenue. And that is where it ends. Most of W. 172nd Street is made up of schools and a few large buildings. From seeing them as I drove by, they appeared to be a some commercial building. Looked to small to be industrial.

Also, there were a number of schools in the area, which may be an attraction for kids. People looking to retire may find the place alluring, especially since there really isn't much to do.

W. 171st Street is simply a cross street that allows someone to get from Ogden Avenue to Merriam Avenue, which leads to University Avenue or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

There is nothing going on this street. Everything that is on it has an entrance on another street, so all you see is the back of buildings.

The only good thing about it, is that cars can park on the street.

Everywhere you drive on W. 170th Street, the most of what you run into are commercial establishments. This means you will find delis, fast food places, and other convenience stores. There is housing around the area, but not as much as you would find on other streets. West 170th Street is more of a commercial zone than residential.

I also remember spotting a school zone along the way. So kids may like the area for that purpose.

If you have kids of school age, you will like living on W. 169th Street. Although a few spots are not exactly to be desired, still there are sections of the street that is nice looking.

But what makes this area attractive to parents is there are at least three or four schools along the route. And there are schools on side streets, so there are plenty of school locations for your kids to go to.

There are also apartment buildings for you to move into. I would say that if you are a parent or someone who is retired, you may just like the area.

W. 168th Street only goes a few blocks. And those few blocks are made up of commercial establishments and schools.

The place does tend to get busy with people, especially when school is in session.

It has its ups and downs. If you don't mind the ugliness in sections, and you do have kids, you may be willing to move to this street.

Also, tourists may like the area because of the stores around.

This is a horrible looking street. Some sections don't look too bad, but many sections look rundown and decrepit. Some buildings look like they are about to fall down. There is graffiti in many spots.

This is one area I would not recommend anyone to live at, even if there are a number of apartment buildings in the area.

If you ever drove down Fulton Avenue, you may just experience something different. Instead of driving down a road, it feels like you are driving down a highway. The main reason why is the 4 lanes. It is a well-traveled road and is made up primarily of commercial establishments, however, there are some residential buildings mixed in.

It is definitely a busy area to say the least, especially during the day light hours of 3-6pm.

I will tell you this. I used to live there, and I can't believe how beautiful looking the road is. It is a road that is divided by a median. This median is full of nothing but grass and trees. Even on the side of the road on each side, you are welcomed by trees, bushes, and grass. You will run into stores along the way. In fact, at one section, there is a mall.

But overall, a very nice place to drive around and enjoy nature and the beauty of it all. Be careful though. Make sure you are the passenger so you won't crash into anything while looking around.

Once you get into Hempstead, Nassau Blvd turns from a 4 lane road, into a 2 lane road. And it isn't any longer a lot of greenery. Now it consists of stores, one after the other. No matter what store you are looking for, you will find it here.

It is definitely a far cry from the nicer looking Nassau Blvd in Garden City, but that is the way the local city takes care of it. So, if you love shopping and eating, and don't mind the traffic, you just may find Nassau Blvd a good way to get to where you are going.

Nassau Blvd covers more than just Garden City. The area also goes into Hempstead. But for now I will review Nassau Blvd in Garden City.

Despite the fact it is a well-traveled road, it is beautifully kept. The blvd actually is four lanes but divides in the center by an island that is mostly grass, but with some trees along the way.

It is really a nice road to travel on. There are not that many homes on the blvd, although there are some. There are some stores in spots. Overall, it would give it a thumbs up for a great road to travel on.

W. 74th street has a lot going on for being here. You will find a lot to do. There are restaurants right around the corner. There are also stores nearby. The street has also been well kept so you don't mind a leisurely stroll once in a while.

You can take the subway or the bus to or near 74th Street and walk the rest of the way, depending on where you are going.

What can I say about 3rd Avenue. It is nearly identical to 1st and 2nd Avenues, with the exception that it curves around at a certain point and ends as a loop-around.

The area that is pretty greenery is the area just before 3rd Avenue bends around and loops-around. The rest of the avenue is made up of houses, and a few bushes and trees. A typical neighborhood on Long Island.

Second Avenue is just like 1st Avenue, by the way they look. They are almost carbon copies of each other. So my best bet is if you like 1st Avenue, you will like 2nd Avenue. The only difference between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue is that 2nd Avenue does not have a stop and a dead end to it. Instead, it has a loop-around at the end of the avenue.

One of the best looking neighborhoods to live in is at 1st Avenue. I drove down the street a while back and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. Many of the buildings are new and kept well.

At one point, 1st Avenue stops and becomes a dead end. Otherwise, it is a great street to live on.

If you love parks, you need to come to the Dutch Broadway Park. You will find it between 238th Street and Elmont Road.

I went there one time and just sat on the grass for a short time, while I soaked in the sun and relaxed. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to relax or find something to do, but in a tranquil environment.

The one mark you will find about Elmont Road is that it is quite busy. You will find nearly any kind of store or business along this route. You may even run into a school and church along the way. This is definitely one busy road.

If you like a mixture of stores with homes thrown in, you will like Linden Blvd. There basically is a mixed bag of goodies you will find along this boulevard.

Having been down the street, I can say for certainty that it has some flair to it. It isn't your typical NYC busy street. It actually has some class to it.

Of all the places where I would love to move to, it would be 115th Avenue in Hempstead, Long Island, NY. It is a two lane road, but it is nice and clean and the buildings you see along the way are also clean looking.

The downside to it is the street is very busy with traffic, so kids will have to be careful crossing. Other than that, I would recommend it for anyone.

The Hempstead Turnpike is the heart of Hempstead. You will find that it is more heavily traveled than Hempstead Avenue. In most cases, Hempstead Turnpike is a four lane highway.

Most of what you will find on the turnpike are commercial facilities, like stores, delis, and many other types of business establishments.

Hempstead Avenue is just like Hempstead Parkway in that it is a very heavily traveled road. In some sections, it is a four lane road, while in other sections, it is a two lane road, but wide.

Most of the buildings along Hempstead Avenue are commercial, with a few residential buildings thrown in.

You will also find this is a developing area.

If you are looking for a nice neighborhood that is somewhat quiet, you will like 223rd Street. There really are no apartment buildings along this route. You mainly see individual family homes. It is a far cry from your typical NYC neighborhood.

The best part of Myrtle Avenue is Forest Park. This is the best part of Myrtle. If you like to play gulf, you will love Forest Park. The park is huge so there is a ton of stuff you can do at the place. You can play gulf, play baseball, and a whole lot of other activities as well.

It is definitely a very welcome site in Queens.

McLean Avenue is primarily made up of commercial establishments, although there are residential locations along the route.

It is a pretty clean area.

West 262nd Street appears to be a very nice place to live. In some sections, the street narrows so thin that only one car can get in. That's okay. The street is a one-way at this location.

The rest of the street has a lot of green and very nice buildings.

It is definitely a place to visit and maybe even live.

W. 261st Street normally goes from Broadway to River Rd. However the street is undergoing construction at the corner of Palisade Avenue and West 261st Street. There are barricades there.

Other than this little dump, the street is not all that bad. It turns into a typical suburban neighborhood.

W. 260th Street looks like your typical suburban street. There is your typical school zone. The best part of the street is when it ends at Broadway, because directly across the street is a large park. How delightful it is to see it and to go into it.

If you don't like the neighborhood because of so many schools, you will love the park. The next time you visit the area, don't forget to stop and see the huge park at Broadway.

W. 259th Street has it all. You will find stores in one area, a bunch of schools in another, and a large park at the end of the street that connects to Broadway.

To me, W. 259th Street has a busy side to it. One side is quiet, while one side is noisy with people coming and going. Kids are seen everywhere.

There are mainly single-family homes along with street. However, there are a few apartment buildings near the schools.

This is a very short street, about half a block or so, but it holds the Bronx Community Boards.

There really is nothing else on this street, but one large building.

You will find more action on Riverdale Avenue.

When you travel down this street, the one thing you will notice is it has a lot of schools around. Nearly every block there is a school. So you parents, if you are looking to relocate in the upper part of the Bronx, here may be a good place to go, since there are a lot of schools around.

West 255th Street can be considered nothing but a side street. It has nothing to offer anyone. The buildings that are there are mainly the back and nothing else.

W. 254th Street has it all. On one end there is a school area. This is around Riverdale Avenue. Then you go for a while through what looks like a country setting. Once you get past this area you run into an academy for school buses.

There isn't that much regarding residential living, at least not from what I saw. But if you want you can visit the place, or stay for a short time. If you can find a nice place to live in the area, the Riverdale School system is considered very good.

There is really nothing much to this street. It covers two blocks. Most of what is on one block are mainly small business establishments. The rest are apartment buildings.

There really is not much else to see. I would not recommend this area as it is mostly commercial.

On the other hand, if you really are looking for excitement and a place to relax, you might want to go across the street on Broadway. This is were W. 251st Street ends. On the other side of Broadway is Old Putnam Trail. It also has a large baseball field. So you might want to check it out.

If you have ever lived in the south, this road reminds me of one. It goes a ways, and has twists and turns. Plus there is a lot of greenery. There are some buildings along the way that people live in, but I don't recall seeing any commercial property on this street, nor did I see any school or hospital.

To me, it just seems like your typical country road that takes you from one street to another. But, if you like walking around and enjoying the view, and have friends in the area, you may like to visit here.

W. 250th Street goes a long way, about a mile, but much of it is narrow (only one car and go through at a time), and there is a lot of trees and shrubbery around. There are some properties along the road, but they are scattered about.

I do not see anyone relocating here, considering there really are no places to move into, but if you like walking along and enjoying the greenery, it isn't all that bad.

W. 249th St reminds me of a little side street in the hills in the south. It has a lot of green around. it's mainly as a back road from Henry Hudson Pkwy to Wave Hill.

In case you may not be aware of it, Wave Hill also houses one of the biggest Jewish colleges in NY. The place is Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni.

If you are interested in a safe place, this is the area to be. A very nice area. Not much in the way of housing, but a nice place to visit.

This street reminds me of a small country road back in the mountains. It is built mainly for one car, but two can fit, but just barely. There are buildings along the way for people to stop at. I'm not sure if these places are residential, commercial, or just part of Manhattan College.

You can travel down the small stretch of road. But be careful. There is also a lot of trees and shrubbery. So it may block your view from time to time. And with people coming out of parking spaces, it may prove to be a possible accident waiting to happen.

The most often visited and most sought after location on W. 246th Street is the Horace Mann School at the end near Post Rd. This area is crowded when college semesters are engaged. As such it gets busy with students walking around and cars going back and forth. Other than during those times, the rest of the time is pretty quiet.

Did you ever travel down a country road one time? if so, did you notice how much greenery was around. Trees would line up the streets. That is what this street does. It is so wonderful to be there. I would recommend anyone, no matter whether you have kids or not.

With the college right down the street, your kids would fit right in, especially when they get the college age.

W. 244th Street is only one block. I believe it is there to guide students and others into Manhattan College. It really doesn't serve any other purpose as there are no stores or apartment buildings on the street.
