110th Street (Manhattan)
110th Street is a street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is also known as Central Park North. In the west, between Central Park West/Frederick Douglass Boulevard and Riverside Drive, it is also known as Cathedral Parkway.
110th Street is an eastbound street between First Avenue and Madison Avenue. The small portion between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue is westbound. West of Fifth Avenue, the road widens to accommodate two-way traffic.
The Duke Ellington Memorial, a statue of Duke Ellington, stands in Duke Ellington Circle, a shallow amphitheater at 110th Street and Fifth Avenue, at the northeast corner of Central Park. Unveiled in 1997, the statue, by sculptor Robert Graham, is 25 feet (7.6 m) tall, and depicts the Muses—nine nude caryatids—supporting a grand piano and Duke Ellington on their heads. Duke Ellington Circle is also the site of the future Museum for African Art.
110th Street crosses Central Park West and Frederick Douglass Boulevard at the northwest corner of Central Park, Frederick Douglass Circle. West of there it is also called Cathedral Parkway after the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
The Parkway forms the south edge of Morningside Park between Manhattan Avenue and Morningside Drive. It forms the south edge of the Cathedral Close of St. John the Divine between Morningside Drive and Amsterdam Avenue, and ends at Riverside Drive before Riverside Park.
Central Park North is a section of West 110th Street. As the name implies, it lies at the northern end of Central Park. It is bounded by Central Park West on the west and Fifth Avenue on the east. It is notable for its incongruities; the Lincoln Correctional Facility—originally constructed in 1914 for the Young Women's Hebrew Association—stands a few blocks away from new luxury condo developments.
The Central Park North section has three of the original gates of Central Park. Farmers Gate is located at the southern end of Lenox Avenue/Malcolm X Boulevard, while Warriors Gate is located at the southern end of Seventh Avenue/Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard. Pioneers Gate is at Fifth Avenue (Duke Ellington Circle).
The original Polo Grounds was located along West 110th Street / Central Park North, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. Originally hosting polo, it was the home for the New York Metropolitans baseball club from 1880 to 1886 and for the New York Gothams—subsequently the Giants—from 1883 to 1888.
