Noted trend expert Tom Julian has started his own company, The Tom Julian Group, which combines global vision and strategy to create innovative branding solutions for a variety of clients. This month, he takes a look at the Upper West Side.
Manhattan's Upper West Side is a historic neighborhood with roots dating back to the 1700s. Known for its architectural landmarks and tree-lined residential streets, the community is also a retail destination, especially since the unveiling of the Time Warner Center in 2004. To explore the retail offerings, begin at 59th Street and Columbus Circle and proceed north along Broadway and Columbus Avenue.
