33 Riverside Drive is probably best known for its most famous former residents George and Ira Gershwin. The musical brothers occupied adjoining penthouses during the late 1920's, where they threw parties that were the talk of the town. An oft-quoted account from Ethel Merman relays that the young stenographer and soon-to be star wasn't sure what to be more excited about when she was invited to 33 Riverside Drive – the chance to audition for a part in a Broadway show by the Gershwins, or getting to see the famed penthouse!

Yet the musical associations attached to the northeast corner of Riverside Drive and West 75th Street stretch back further than the Gershwin's residence at 33 Riverside Drive. Sergei Rachmaninoff, the Russian composer and pianist, occupied a "five-story dwelling" at 33 Riverside Drive during the early 1920's that played host to a wide variety of musical luminaries and became a home-away-from home for other Russian artists, including Konstantin Stanislavsky and his Moscow Art Theatre during their visit to the City in 1922-23. In fact, it was Rachmaninoff's decision to sell his home in 1925 that made way for the construction of the apartment building that would become home to the Gershwins, who also happened to have Russian roots.

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
