Morning Side Heights |
|
|
Morningside Heights is a neighborhood located in the Borough of Manhattan.
It is known as the home of institutions such as Barnard College, Columbia University, the Manhattan School of Music, the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, the Riverside Church and St. Luke’s Hospital. Morningside Heights is bounded by the Upper West Side to the south, Morningside Park to the east, Harlem to the north and Riverside Park to the west. The streets marking the borders of the neighborhood are generally considered to be either 106th Street or 110th Street to the south, Riverside Drive on the west, 123rd Street or 125th Street on the north, and Morningside Drive or Central Park West, just below 110th Street, on the east. The main thoroughfare through Morningside Height is one of the most famous streets in America, Broadway. The area has been referred to by several different nicknames: the "Academic Acropolis," the "Acropolis of New York," "Bloomingdale Village” or "South Harlem." It earned the name “Academic Acropolis” because it sits on one of the highest natural points in Manhattan and contains a number of academic institutions. In fact, much of the neighborhood is the campus of Columbia University. The university also owns a large amount of the non-campus surrounding real estate. The neighborhood is also home to other educational institutions, including Barnard University, Union Theological Seminary, the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Manhattan School of Music, Teachers College, the Bank Street College of Education, Wadleigh Secondary School, the Thurgood Academy and St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's School. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies is also located in the neighborhood in a building owned by Columbia University. |
