By the way, I was wrong about the location of Sachs's new house. It's
close to Central Park, and therefore east of me. The NYT story
suggested Hudson River views, but the New York Observer gave the
actual address (52 W 85).

As for the social geography of the UWS - values rise as you approach
the river, though the highest prices are close to Central Park,
Amsterdam is the low point - far from fully gentrified, and still
full of Dominicans. But Riverside Drive is prime real estate, and
West End is pretty pricey too.

Michael Moore, Lucianne Goldberg, and I are all just off Broadway
(83rd, 84th, and 85th Sts respectively). Dunno what that says about
social status.
