Inwood is the northernmost neighborhood on Manhattan Island in the New York City borough of Manhattan and New York State's County of New York. This is not to say, however, that Inwood is the northernmost neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan (because the borough of Manhattan includes a small part of the North American mainland (Marble Hill) to the north of the island of Manhattan). While Inwood is sometimes thought to be a sub-section of Washington Heights, the larger and better-known neighborhood to its south, most people residing in, or familiar with, Upper Manhattan consider Inwood to be a separate and distinct neighborhood in its own right. Inwood, in geographical terms, is generally accepted to be the area comprised by the 10034 postal zip code. This is coincidental, as zip codes are not a sound method of ascertaining neighborhood boundaries. It is physically bounded by the Harlem River to the north and east, the Hudson River to the west, and runs down to a little below Dyckman Street on the south. Its main local thoroughfare is Broadway, its main highways are the Henry Hudson Parkway and the Harlem River Drive, and its main shopping areas are Dyckman Street, Broadway and West 207th Street. Compared to the rest of Manhattan, Inwood is often deemed a rather remote, if not obscure, locale, and enjoys (even savors) no worldwide renown. In fact, its location places it technically closer to suburban Westchester County, New York than to Midtown Manhattan...
