Manhattanville is the part of Manhattan in New York City bordered on the south by Morningside Heights on the west by the Hudson river, on the east by Harlem and on the north by Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights.

The park, which will consist of multiple piers and ferry landings, stretches from 125th St to 132nd Street and will fill in one of the few missing links in a cycle and walking path that stretches the entire circumference of Manhattan.

As for ViVa -- a k a Viaduct Valley -- that's real estate speak for the West Harlem area reportedly poised to spawn its own restaurant scene in the coming year near Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Fairway Market and the new Citarella. "New Harlem" is fast becoming the next destination for fine dining.
