Manhattan Valley

Manhattan Valley is a small area on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. Running from 100th Street to 110th Street, it is a markedly lower-class section of the otherwise well-to-do Upper West Side, having more in common with the nearby neighborhood of Harlem. Formerly known as the Bloomingdale District, the area went into decline in the 1950s and 1960s and unlike the rest of the Upper West Side, has been slow to gentrify.
