Manhattan Valley
Say the phrase Manhattan Valley and you’ll be viewed with awe. At least by those, like you, who are in the know.
But, really, do you know what it is? If you’re an Upper West Sider, you probably do. But for those unfamiliar, it’s a neighborhood within the environs of the west side. Origins date back to the 1800s. The name is based on a depression in the landscape, hence “Valley.” Let’s plan an NYC Daycation here and impress your friends with your knowledge of some really interesting facts about the UWS. We’ll call this the “did you know” kind of an adventure.
