COLUMBUS AVENUE
Columbus Avenue is one of New York’s leading shopping and dining destinations. It is also one of the most distinctive avenues in the city, lined primarily with the modestly scaled late 19th and early 20th-century buildings that define the first wave of construction on the Upper West Side. Columbus Avenue’s beautiful architecture, rich history, and neighborhood atmosphere paired with vibrant landscaping, shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions create a truly unique urban boulevard.
Connecting two of New York’s premier cultural attractions – Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the American Museum of Natural History, Columbus Avenue is a thoroughfare worth exploring. Filled with a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and activities, there is something for everyone to enjoy on the Avenue.Â
