Quick heads-up about a free Upper West Side walking tour next Wednesday, 8/22 (6:30 pm).

It will focus on the “Bloomingdale” neighborhood of the UWS, between 96th & 110th Streets.

The tour is free, but space is limited to 25 people and you need to RSVP by Monday, 8/20.

Discover 400 Years of History of the Upper West Side and the Bloomingdale Area Between W. 96-110 Sts.

The tour is led by historian Jim Mackin, and sponsored by the Park West Neighborhood History Group and Columbus-Amsterdam BID.

To RSVP, e-mail info@columbusamsterdambid.org or call 212-666-9774.

This reminds me of an article DNAinfo posted back in March but I never got around to linking to: From Bloomingdale to SoHa: One UWS Neighborhood’s Quest for a Name.

It’s worth a read.
