irst of all,Welcome to the Rag! Thanks for coming by,and I hope you stay awhile and check out what we have to offer. The Rag is an online newspaper/blog that covers the Upper West Side of Manhattan,and it’s written by Upper West Siders. We cover real estate,crime,store openings and closings,the parks and many other topics,and we publish colorful columns about the neighborhood. As far as geography goes,the Upper West Side stretches roughly from 59th to 110th Streets and from Central Park to the Hudson River. But we’re flexible: if something is going on at St. John the Divine on 112th,we’ll cover it. If Keanu Reeves strips down to his underwear on 58th Street and 10th Avenue and starts to dance,we won’t let geographic boundaries get in our way. Oh yes,we will tell that story. The Rag started publishing in 2011 and in its first year was named one of the four best neighborhood blogs in the city by the Village Voice. Life & Style Weekly called the site “The best insider source about Manhattan’s Upper West Side.” BrickUnderground said the Rag is “wry,addictive,up-to-the-minute.”
