Two blocks to the Park. Across from Lincoln Center.
Sixty-First between Columbus and Broadway — the seam where the Upper West Side meets Columbus Circle.
It is a quieter address than the numbers suggest. The block itself is residential, low and tree-lined; the noise is one street over. Lincoln Center is directly across Columbus, which means the evening crowd walks away from the building rather than past it.
North of here the Upper West Side settles into brownstones and neighborhood restaurants. South, at the Circle, is the shopping, the subway and the fastest way to anywhere else in the city.

The Park reads differently from the West Side.
From the east, you look at the Park with the afternoon sun behind you. From here, you look across it into the light — the Reservoir catches the sunset, and the East Side skyline becomes the far wall of your own room. It is the reason the northern exposures sell first.
