Morningside Heights: Where Academia Meets Nature.

Beyond the Tourist Traps

While Midtown Manhattan offers bright lights, the Upper West Side offers soul. Staying at Morningside Inn places you in a vibrant residential community filled with bookstores, cafes, parks, and history.

You can start your day with a bagel from Absolute Bagels (arguably the best in NYC), walk it off in Central Park, visit a world-class museum, and end the day watching the sunset over the Hudson River—all without leaving our neighborhood.
