Enter at 81st Street, head southeast, and the stairway is at around 80th St. Walk up and there's a delightful terrace that, in the summertime, has fountains for kids to play in.

The W85th street block btw Columbus and Central Park West has a series of charming brownstones that are more set back than most properties in the area.

The building I grew up in. Had many immigrants, including from Russia, and is situated one block from a Russian Orthodox church, hence the nickname.

One of the more interesting notes about this place was that it was featured in a charity: water commercial with Jennifer Connelly. http://www.charitywater.org/media/videos/?video=video2

This is the solitary gargoyle I've seen on a residential building, at least on the Upper West Side. NW corner. Look up and pretend to be a tourist.

Guggenheim Museum, 5th Avenue, New York, NY 2 1
I have liked this museum more at a distance than up close, since usually there are lines around the block to get in. It's good for one trip with the kids for the novelty.

An 1900s-era brownstone along a row of same. Building down the street was built in 1890. This street is called Edgar Allan Poe Street, for he lived here for a time when he wrote "The Raven."

great for summer outdoor dining. across from two community gardens, one on the south and one on the east, which features an enormous willow tree.

Great for walking, rollerblading, teaching kids to ride bikes, or sitting and reading the NY Times.
