The historic Dakota Building, located at 1 West 72nd Street is one of the most stunning buildings in all of Manhattan. Regarded as New York City’s first luxury apartment, The Dakota was built in 1884. Past residents have included, Jack Palance, Leonard Bernstein, Lauren Bacall, Judy Garland, Roberta Flack, but arguably the first famous name you’ll think of when it comes to the Dakota on Central Park West, is John Lennon. The former Beatle lived here from 1973 to 1980, until he was senselessly murdered outside the building. The ‘Imagine’ memorial is located just inside the entrance to Central Park at W72nd. In spite of witnessing her husband’s pointless & horrific murder, Yoko Ono continued to live in the Dakota, until this year.
