A neighborhood within a neighborhood. And happens to be one of the most charming nabes in all New York. "Hudson Heights" as a name has only been used in the gentrification sense since the 90'd. But the actual area has always been nice, coming from a lifelong resident. Located in Washington Heights, Hudson Heights comprises anything from 181 St and Ft Washington Ave to Fort Tryon Park and west of Broadway up until 190St.
Long a haven for German Jews, it was nicknamed "Frankfurt on the Hudson" during the WW II years. today, most of the original German Jews have dies or retired, and it has found insured life with new, hipsterfied residents. While not a Williamsburg by any measure, the newer residents are young, artsy and many of them are non New Yorkers.
The area is known, in particular, for its natural beauty. Fort Tryon Park is one of the most tranquil anywhere. The playground i grew up in, Bennett Park, is at the highest natural point on Manhattan island. Bennett Park is located at 184 St between Ft Washington and Pinehurst Avenues. When it comes to living, it is a quality place to live, all while still being a part of Manhattan island.

The hudson school is the smallest school in hudson county, and probably in the state. With a range of about 18 kids per grade, this school is smaller than my three bedroom apartment building. It’s basically a local farm. People leave their shit everywhere and talk to their teachers as their friends, since they only have maximum five friends each. Even seniors are best friends with freshmen because they have no one else to talk to. Relationships are also recycled multiple times in the span of four years. All the girls have shared the same guys. The women are pretty mature, but the guys are huge dicks and gigantic simps. Finally, when u hear hudson school, think “cheaters”. They cheat so much that they probably even cheat on the SAT. If quizlet didn’t exist, they would all have a GPA of 2.3. The teachers are way too naive. If u wanna be an athlete and you see the hudson school, turn around and run in the opposite direction. They suck completely at every sport.

When you have to run to the toilet in order to take a shit.
In order to be a true Hudson Shuffle you have to be in a place where it is inappropriate to run to the toilet.
