"Honestly, I think Columbus from around 92nd through 100th is an aberration in the UWS neighborhood. Rows of tall apartment towers completely out of scale with the side streets, with little or no ground-floor commercial space. I walk down Columbus and I don't feel like I'm in New York City UWS. This new development actually brings back the feeling of the Broadway commercial strip."
