Ansonia, Manhattan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ansonia is a neighborhood in the Upper West Side section of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is named after the Ansonia Hotel situated on Broadway. The Art Deco landmark Beacon Theater is also located in this area. It was designed by Chicago architect Walter W. Ahlschlager and opened in 1928. The Dakota Apartments, Central Park, and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts are few blocks away. It's crossed by the well-known Great White Way, a stretch of Broadway.
The name is not popular and its use would be likely to be met with confusion. However, the Ansonia Hotel is a prominent building, literally and figuratively.
