I also moved out of that block a year ago! I miss it but the area was starting to get a little too cool. I'm too boring for that.

You made a great choice. New socialist mayor will soon have that area covered in homeless encampments he has pledged to not remove.

Some apartments and cafes have full interiors, including this hidden luxury townhouse with a pool. 4 months of work. I used real satellite data and historical maps to get the layout right.

Is there a way to host it on a server so others could explore? Without the ability to modify obviously… I have limited Minecraft experience so do t know if this is a possibility or not

I saw on another post that you don’t even live here! Unreal. This is incredible. You have all of the actual upper west siders in disbelief.

Central Park West and Riverside drive have some of the best architecture IMO. The Ansonia is my favorite building though, and the way Broadway splits in front of it (if you’re south on say west 72nd and looking north at it) is beautiful. 75th between Amsterdam and Columbus is such a class UWS street.
