Upper West Side Car Service
Easy to leave. Slow to cross.
RideSoHo provides private car service across the Upper West Side — Central Park West, Columbus, Amsterdam, Broadway and Riverside Drive, from Columbus Circle up through Lincoln Square and Morningside Heights.
The avenues here are wide and most buildings have a doorman, which makes pickups straightforward. The constraint is the park: anything on the East Side means a transverse, and which one works decides the journey.
Working Here
Three things the West Side teaches you.
The park is the obstacle
Not the distance.
Four transverses cross it, and which is quickest changes by hour. A trip to the East Side is nearly always slower than the map suggests.
The West Side Highway is the fast route
North and south.
Riverside access makes the run downtown and to Newark quicker than the avenues, particularly outside rush hour.
Lincoln Center empties like a venue
Because it is one.
Performances end together and the surrounding blocks fill. Pickup is arranged away from the plaza rather than at it.
How People Book
Four ways the West Side books.
Airport transfers
LaGuardia across the park and up, or Newark down the highway. Flights watched from departure.
Lincoln Center & the theatres
Performances end together, so the pickup point is agreed before the evening.
Hourly days
Museums, the park, appointments and evenings, with the car waiting between stops.
Family travel
Seats fitted before arrival, and a vehicle sized to the luggage rather than the headcount.
Around Here
What sits around you.
Between the park and the river.
Hotels here
Mandarin Oriental, JW Marriott Essex House and the Park Lane, plus the smaller houses along Broadway and Amsterdam. Collected from the entrance the hotel prefers.
Lincoln Center
Opera, ballet and concerts, with pickup arranged away from the plaza.
The Natural History Museum
Central Park West, dropped at the entrance you name.
Riverside Drive & the park
The quietest streets in the neighbourhood, with easy access to the highway.
Columbus Circle
The southern gateway, and the busiest corner on the West Side.
Crosstown to the East Side
Through the transverses, and slower than it looks at any hour.
Choosing a Vehicle
Sedans and SUVs both work.
Wide avenues and doorman buildings mean most vehicles are straightforward here.

Questions
Upper West Side, answered.
How long does it take to cross to the East Side?
Longer than the distance suggests at almost any hour. Four transverses cross the park and which is quickest changes through the day.
Will the car wait outside my building?
Where the building allows it, yes. Most Upper West Side buildings have a doorman and a preferred spot, and the arrangement is kept on file for regular travel.
Do you collect after performances at Lincoln Center?
Yes, with the pickup point agreed away from the plaza, since performances end together and the surrounding blocks fill.
Which airport is quickest from the Upper West Side?
LaGuardia across the park and up, or Newark down the West Side Highway. Both are served directly with the flight watched from departure.
Is the West Side Highway faster than the avenues?
Usually, for anything heading north or south, particularly outside rush hour. Riverside access makes it easy to reach.
Do you serve the Natural History Museum?
Yes, dropped at the entrance you name, since the building has several.
Do you serve Columbia and Morningside Heights?
Yes, in both directions, including campus travel and parents’ weekends.
Can you fit child seats for an Upper West Side booking?
Yes, fitted before your chauffeur arrives with 24 hours’ notice. An adult travels with any passenger under 18.
