Harlem Bespoke: On the west side, Community Board 9 entails Morningside Heights and the West Harlem neighborhoods of Manhattanville and Hamilton Heights, from 110th Street to 155th Street. Eastern boundaries are a little off the grid since Morningside Park, St. Nicholas Park and Jackie Robinson Park divide these neighborhoods from Central Harlem. Morningside Heights technically ends at 122nds Street to the north and this is a particular distinction that many mix up for one reason or another. Manhattanville ends at 135th Street and Trinity Cemetery is part of Hamilton Heights up by 155th Street. Check out the Community Board 9 website for more details on the neighborhood: www.cb9.orgHarlemBespoke.com 2019
Interestingly enough, folks that live on St. Nicholas Terrace adjacent to St. Nicholas Park are served by Bill Perkins (city council district 9) and not Mark Levine (city council district 7) - whose district makes up most of CB9. Wish the CB districts were aligned with city council districts.
