Columbus Avenue

The picturesque Columbus Avenue on the Upper Westside of Manhattan boasts a slew of upscale boutiques, a few chain stores as well as small boutiques and wonderful restaurants. On Sundays, there is a Greenflea Market. 9th Avenue, originating just south of West 14th Street intersects with West 59th Street, where it is re-signed, Columbus Avenue—named after Christopher Columbus. Columbus Avenue continues without interruption through the Upper West Side to West 110th Street, where it is re-signed once more, as Morningside Drive, and runs north through Morningside Heights to 122nd Street.
