Our Vision

Better Broadway BID envisions a luminous, impeccably clean Broadway from 80th to 110th Street—running through one of the densest and wealthiest ZIP codes in the United States—where spotless sidewalks, vibrant storefronts, and an inviting sense of grandeur elevate New York’s Upper West Side to a level worthy of its global reputation.

Cleanliness

Our #1 focus is cleanliness. From the sidewalks, to the streetpoles, to the gutters, to the tree pits, to the subway station entrances, the whole district needs a strong power washer.

Family Friendly

We need a renewed focus on quality of life and family friendly norm enforcement. Lighting, cameras and renewed attention by city services will improve the business environment and resident quality of life.

Explore Our Area

Home to New Yorkers from many walks of life, the UWS between 80th and 110th Street shows a distinct profile compared to the city overall. Statistically, the median household income here is substantially higher than the NYC average, while college graduation rates far exceed citywide norms. Poverty rates are also significantly lower in this area. You'll find a vibrant mix of professionals, families, singles, and long-time residents drawn to the unique cultural institutions, parks, and energetic lifestyle of this classic Manhattan hub.

The Mall

From Columbus Circle to 168th Street, a ribbon of New York City parkland winds its way along Broadway. This strip of trees, shrubs, and seasonal plantings, known as the Broadway Malls, creates a “front yard” for the district.

Local Dining

Discover a diverse array of restaurants, cafes, and eateries offering cuisine from around the world. The most popular food of all is pizza, our district has 13 pizza places along Broadway from slice shops to award winning restaurants.

Kids Focused Retail

The Upper West Side is home to over 30,000 children (That’s enough youngsters to fill Yankee Stadium, twice.) with a proliferation of storefronts devoted to math help, tutoring, clothes making, skateboarding and more.

Grabing A Bite, For Now Or Later

The district is home to many grocery stores, bakeries, coffee shops and a few legendary specialty food retailers selling smoked fish, fresh meats, Amish cheese, Kosher treats and more.

Retail Therapy

Broadway has everything. From hardware stores, appliance stores, stationary stores to book stores, shoe stores, clothes and much more.

Cultural Attractions

We have Theaters, Performance centers, and beautiful architecture.
