Morningside Heights

Columbia University's hood, with all the bookstores, coffee shops, and cheap eats that implies. Riverside Church and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine add some serious gothic vibes. Riverside Park's right there when you need green space, and the Hungarian Pastry Shop is still running on a cash-only, no-wifi policy like it's 1961.
