A locals guide to the architecture of the Upper West Side
Overview
Most tours focus on the big names and obvious landmarks, but this one is different — I’m 18, a local, and I know the Upper West Side from the ground up. I’ll show you hidden gems, tell the stories behind the buildings, and give you insider insights you won’t find in guidebooks. From historic architecture to secret spots with fascinating pasts, this tour combines history, culture, and local flavor — all through the eyes of someone who actually walks these streets every day.
