Upper West Side

The Upper West Side is a neighborhood of Manhattan facing the Hudson River. It developed in the 1870's following the extension of the Ninth Avenue Elevated Railroad there, making easy commute to Midtown possible. Many of the original brownstone row houses built in the 1890's can still be seen there today.

Upper West Side is home to a number of famous institutions, among them the American Museum of Natural History, the Columbus Circle Complex and Lincoln Center.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
