Evening Block Parties
There are block parties on 69th street between Broadway and CPW and 90th from Columbus to CPW in the early evening, but they do tend to attract very large crowds. Residents on 90th are attempting to limit the party to people who live on the block, and we’ve heard from people on 69th street that the party does get a little overwhelming with hundreds of people crowding onto the block. It’s over by 7. There’s also usually a block party on 87th between Riverside and West End.

We’ll continue adding more events to this list so check back.

Love The Upper Westside Rag. It compliments the upper west side paper The Spirit. We are also having a block party for Halloween on Thursday October 31st at 90th & Columbus Avenue. But it will be for those who live in the block between Columbus & Central Park West. It happen every year & it gets bigger & bigger This year we will have a Maze for the children to wander through all evening. Plus various other activities are planned.
