It’s called Bloomingdale, but it’s got nothing to do with the department store. It’s the area of the Upper West Side north of 100th Street, south of 110th Street, and west of Amsterdam Avenue, and it’s got housing bargains for those willing to go looking. Studios in a non-doorman building can rent for under $1,300, for instance, and two-bedrooms in a doorman building can hover around $3,000 a month. more [Post]
