My Upper West is a blog dedicated to all things on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.  Historically, the Upper West Side is bordered by West 59th Street, West 110th Street, Central Park, and the Hudson River.  The site aims to bring the myriads of events and happenings in and around the neighborhood to one place, so UWS residents and visitors alike can be in the know.

My Upper West was founded by husband/wife team Lauren and Torrey, who have grown to love this neighborhood in their years of living there.  They met for a first date under the big clock on 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue, and a few years later Torrey proposed to Lauren at that very spot.  They are now firmly planted in the neighborhood with their awesome dog, Frank.

Lauren and Torrey have always felt at home in the UWS, spending their weekends wandering around the neighborhood and soaking up all it has to offer.  They always wanted to have a go-to place that contains the many happenings in the UWS, such as street fairs, races in the park, and other gatherings, which led them to start My Upper West.  Lauren and Torrey welcome all comments and suggestions to improve the site; they hope it will be as helpful to its readers as it has been to them!
