Since we're coming from Riverside Park and 79th, I'll
include some buildings on our way. |
The Apthorp, a landmark building that covers a square
block, is between 78-79th and Broadway-West End Avenue. Conan O'Brien,
Rosie O'Donnell and Al Pacino have lived here. Like many large buildings,
it has an inner courtyard and even a driveway. (I was an occasional guest
in the Apthorp, since I recorded a pianist who lived here.) If you continue
east on 79th, you'll come to the Museum of Natural History; go west on
79th and you'll be at the marina and Boat Basin Cafe. |
One block east of the Apthorp: 79th and Amsterdam

The Ansonia in summer and spring

72nd Street and Amsterdam. The building with the

trains. Verdi Square Park is next to it. |
