Washington Heights
Hillside Avenue
Description
For Lin-Manuel Miranda, the corner of Hillside Avenue and Nagle Avenue is one of the best places in Upper Manhattan to experience the In the Heights vibe. “It has that crazy sweeping building—[it looks like] the Flatiron Building. It’s at such an odd angle, and it’s the best example of this sort of crazy urban neighborhood. It’s actually the building we used for our poster.”
