88th St Between Central Park West and Columbus Ave

This block is filled with brownstones of such intricate detail that it makes otherwise fancy apartments looks positively pedestrian in comparison. The shady street is narrow and claustrophobic, but that doesn't seem to stop the droves of well-to-do families from moving as close to Central Park as possible.

Earlier in the week I saw a great metal address marker above the door of 180 93rd Street, so imagine how thrilled I was to see a nearly-identical one here at 66 West 88th Street. Featuring almost identical letterforms, it wasn't in as good of condition as the previous example, but it still had all the charm and beauty.
