West Harlem runs down toward the Hudson River. Manhattanville, its old industrial and port-side district, has been reshaped by Columbia University’s new campus, a change that residents have both welcomed and contested.
Riverside Park and Riverbank State Park give the area unusual access to the waterfront, with views across to New Jersey.
