This is a beautiful pre-war gem of an apartment located directly on Central Park West and features a 24-hour doorman and a live in super on call at all times. Upon entering, this beautifully renovated marble ceiling lobby shows you the architectural detail of this pre war style home and what is to come. The home is presented on the mezzanine level not far from all the facilities. The apartment is a 450 square foot, step up alcove studio with a total of 3 large closets for all your belongings. Once inside you view the pre-war charm in the living room which features high ceilings, plaster crown moldings and beautiful newly refinished hardwood floors that can be seen throughout all of the rooms. Complementing these rooms is a modern windowed kitchen. A remote control window air conditioner cools the apartment in the summer and steam heat heats it in the cooler months. Full laundry facilities and bike storage spaces are available in the building.

The UWS Insider list: Dreamy and evasive Café Lalou on 83rd between Columbus and Broadway is where Tom Hanks dated Meg Ryan in You Got Mail. The pastry is as luscious and decadent as the French decoration. A must visit. Then around the corner you got the best Hazelnut coffee in town. The place is called Drip and do pay attention to the stationary computers and myriad of folders. It is one of the most ingenious dating concepts in a coffee shop. Then later at night you have Lava Lounge that has an exceptional red lounge room with huge pillows and a basement lava room. It changed names recently but ask around on 83-84th Street on Columbus and you will be directed in the right direction. This is my favourite lounge of all time. In addition, just walking down Columbus you must take advantage of the exquisite Snapper presented at Calle Ocho between 82nd and 83rd Street on Columbus. It was spectacular and is a must treat. The oyster lovers will be pleasantly served on Columbus between 78th-79th Street at Ocean Grill with your own private fire place – find it and for a final enjoyment of privacy, find Café Des Artistes at 1 w. 67th. Of course, you must visit Tavern on the Green which is located a stone throw away in Central Park off Central Park West and 70th Street. These are the secrets of the Upper West Side. Indulge this and don’t forget that Lincoln Center and the Shakespear in the Park have free performances all summer long, every summer. Lincoln Center has live music bands outdoors on Lincoln Plaza for free for 4-6 hours each Saturday night during the summer – all from Salsa, Jazz, Classical to anything that makes you move.
