79th Street (Manhattan)
79th Street is a major two-way street in the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan.
 On the Upper East Side East 79th Street stretches from East End Avenue, passing the New York Public Library, Yorkville Branch, to Fifth Avenue, where the entrance to the 79th Street Transverse is flanked by Children's Gate.
 The transverse crosses Central Park; its exit at West 81st Street on the Upper West Side is flanked by Hunters' Gate.
 79th Street does not exist between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, due to the superblock of Manhattan Square, largely occupied by the American Museum of Natural History.
 West of Columbus Avenue, 79th Street continues and terminates in Riverside Park at a traffic circle directly after the exit/entrance ramps for the Henry Hudson Parkway, under which sit the 79th Street Boat Basin and its cafe. Upper West Side
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.
 The Upper West Side is sometimes also considered by the real estate industry to include the neighborhood of Morningside Heights. Riverside Park (Manhattan)
Riverside Park is a scenic waterfront public park on the Upper West Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
 The park consists of a narrow 4 mi strip of land between the Hudson River and the gently curving rise-and-fall of Riverside Drive.
 When the park was first laid out, access to the river was blocked by the right-of-way of the New York Central Railroad West Side Line; later the railroad track was covered over with an esplanade lined with honey-locusts. Riverside Park also contains part of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, which encircles Manhattan's waterfronts with car-free bike routes. New York's 10th congressional district
New York's 10th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives, formerly located from 2003 to 2013 in Brooklyn, New York City, currently represented by Democrat Jerrold Nadler.
 The district contains the southern portion of Morningside Heights, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the west side of Midtown Manhattan, the west side of Lower Manhattan, including Greenwich Village and the Financial District, and parts of Brooklyn, including Borough Park. Lincoln Square, Manhattan
Lincoln Square is the name of both a square and the surrounding neighborhood within the Upper West Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan.
 Lincoln Square is centered on the intersection of Broadway and Columbus Avenue, between West 65th and West 66th streets.
 The neighborhood is bounded by Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue to the east and west, and West 66th and 63rd Street to the north and south.
 However, the term can be extended to have the neighborhood between West 59th Street and West 72nd Street.
 It is bounded by Hell's Kitchen, Riverside South, Central Park, and the Upper West Side proper. Morningside Heights, Manhattan
Morningside Heights is a neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, on the border of the Upper West Side and Manhattanville.
 The area is usually described as being on the Upper West Side, but has been described as part of "Greater Harlem" due to a disputed claim that the Upper West Side goes no farther north than 110th Street. The Shakespeare Project
In October 1983, the Riverside Shakespeare Company, then New York City's only year-round professional Shakespeare theatre company, inaugurated "The Shakespeare Project", based at the theatre company's home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, The Shakespeare Center.
 "The Shakespeare Project" was the first major New York residency of actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company - with Edwin Richfield, Heather Canning, Christopher Ravenscroft, Jennie Stoller and John Kane (the later two from Peter Brook's "A Midsummer Night's Dream") - for a week of public workshops, panel discussions, seminars and performances at the company's Upper West Side theatre, The Shakespeare Center.
 The event was launched at a luncheon in the Shakespeare Room of the Algonquin Hotel attended by Joseph Papp, Helen Hayes, Frank Rich, Gloria Skurski, W. Stuart McDowell, and members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in mid October 1983.
 According to the "New York Times", over one thousand actors, students, teachers and stage directors, from the ages of 15 to 87, signed up for 22 sessions taught by some of the leading actors from London's Royal Shakespeare Company. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Manhattan

 It was founded in 1888 as the German Evangelical Lutheran Church to serve German immigrants moving into the Upper West Side.
 It initially held services in a storefront until money had been raised to buy land and build a sanctuary.
