Manhattan
Valley is a neighborhood on
the Upper West Side of Manhattan, bounded by 110th Street to
the north, Central Park to the east and 96th Street to the
south. The area went into decline in the 1960s and 1970s,
drugs, crime, deterioration and the abandonment of buildings
beset the neighborhood. In the early 1990s it was known as
Crack Central due to its many drug dealers on the streets.
Today, the neighborhood is gentrifying, new business has
moved into the area and some cheap hotels and hostels, such
as the Hostelling International, are located there. Still a
lot must be done and many problems are to solve, say
residents of the neighborhood.
