Where it sits
The narrow top of Manhattan, high enough above the Hudson that the streets get genuinely steep. Washington Heights is dense, Dominican, loud in the good way, and home to the single strangest and best museum in the city at the Cloisters. Room rates here are among the lowest on the island. The A train runs express and gets you to Midtown faster than you would expect from the map.
