Notable Upper West Siders

Over the decades, the Upper West Side has transformed from farmland and far-away inns and summer places to a bustling mix of working-class, business leaders, musicians, new immigrants, artists, and even old/new money — on its way to becoming the diverse community it is today. Author, history lover, and a notable Upper West Sider himself, Jim Mackin has spent years searching for traces of hundreds of fascinating residents who helped shape the character of the UWS.

You’re in for a treat as we (virtually) tread the streets and avenues of the West 90’s and above with Jim to meet our former neighbors — some famous, some forgotten, but all deserving to be recognized and remembered. Think you love the Upper West Side now? You’ll be intrigued and delighted to discover scientists, explorers, historians, writers, artists, public officials, entertainers, aviators, and more who lived right here.
