The Upper West Side runs from West 59th Street to 110th Street between Central Park and the Hudson River, and Broadway is its 66-block spine, running on a diagonal from Columbus Circle to Straus Park.1 The 1, 2 and 3 trains stop under Broadway, on a line that opened in 1904, and the Eighth Avenue line has run under Central Park West since 1932.1
Lincoln Center, built from 1962 to 1968, anchors the southern end, and Manhattan Valley lies north of 96th Street and east of Broadway.1 Most of its cafés line Broadway and Amsterdam and Columbus avenues, where bagel counters open at 06:00 and a few espresso bars stay open into the evening.
Local tip: Zabar's Cafe on Broadway closes at 17:00 and opens an hour later on Sundays, at 09:00; for coffee after dinner, Irving Farm on West 79th Street serves until 22:00.
