The West Side of Manhattan refers to the side of Manhattan Island which abuts the Hudson River and faces New Jersey . Fifth Avenue , Central Park , and lower Broadway separate it from the East Side. The major neighbourhoods on the West Side are (from north to south) West Harlem , Morningside Heights , Manhattan Valley , Upper West Side , Hell's Kitchen , Chelsea , West Village , SoHo , and Tribeca . The 8th Avenue and West Side subway lines connect all parts of the West Side. The main north-south roads servicing the West Side are the Henry Hudson Parkway in the north, and the West Side Highway in the south. The Hudson River Greenway separates them from the west shore of the island.
