    No, the East-West Side would be a contradiction.  Midtown West is a term of art.

    Look: Midtown is the whole chunk under the park. If you say West Side, you could be up near the park, you could be in the cast of Friends, who knows....but it wouldn't specify Midtown.

    Mostly because then a lot of people would think you are talking about the "upper west side," which is more residential. When he said midtown west, it told me a few things... That he's likely at work. That he works west of fifth avenue, which has a slightly different feel than midtown east and actually gets more media companies than midtown east, although there are exceptions.

    Gotcha. Must be a New York thing.

    So is Times Square considered Midtown or Midtown West?

    Which brings up a great point. I could never get into Friends for lots of reasons. A big one was that the cast of Friends was living in those fabby, very large, (presumably?) Greenwich Village apartments. Yet they were 20-somethings, some unemployed, one a struggling actor, etc. How come nobody I knew could figure out how to swing that? When I was 24 and had no money, I was living like a roach, sharing a place the size of a matchbox with several people I hated and about 40 mice I liked better than the humans I lived with.

    I am at work.  In Midtown West.  Midtown.  The Broadway District.  Clinton.  Hell's Kitchen.  North of 42nd, South of 59th.  West of Fifth Ave.  East of Jersey.

    I live on the Upper East Side.  The East Side.  North of Sutton Place.  South of Yorkville (which is part of the UES).  East of Central Park.  West of the East River.

    So to put in terms we can all understand... You work like David Letterman. And you live like Mayor Bloomberg.

    In location, not too far off, especially on the former.  In socio-economic standing, I am not in the same hemisphere.  

    Plus, I work at least two days a week more than Dave.  And my apartment is about 1/10 the size of Mayor Mike's townhouse.

    As to Friends, I couldn't agree more. If those places were real, they would be paying at least $3,500 per month.
