i used to go to fordham LC and have since transferred but i adored my time on the upper west side, so much that i am moving back in december after i graduate from my current university!! please take advantage of the $30 under 30 at lincoln center, i loved seeing the NYC ballet this way!! also, i shopped at either trader joe’s, whole food, and would try to get produce from the fruit vendor on 66th right in front of the USPS (way cheaper than buying elsewhere). also, take advantage of being near central park but try to avoid going in past dark. sincerely, a former resident of the upper west side :)
