I lived on that very block for six months and my building was the absolute worst. One night, well after midnight, some people BROUGHT A COUCH onto the sidewalk in front of the building. Not lawn furniture, a real living room couch. That was when I decided I had to move to a quieter block.

For the most part, though, west of Broadway above 168th is good.

Really really good food in those parts. I don't think anyone can cook better than the Dominicans and you are going to be at ground zero.

Lol, I hadnt heard about someone doing that in a long long time. That used to be a very common sight back in the day in wash heights. People hanging out in front of a building sitting on a couch or wait for it...car seats!!

So yeah this area has come a long long way. Funny thing I was at 175th and fort wash today. Fort wash is nicer further up but I like most of that stretch.

I can't believe you grew up on W 163rd street. How did you manage to survive? You, have my utmost respect, and I consider you a street legend.

I never said I grew up on 163rd. Maybe your confusing me. I did grow up on 160th though which was pretty brutal itself.

Same thing, you were in ground zero.
