The Dakota in New York City
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
The Dakota is a luxury apartment building on the Upper West Side which was made famous by John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, who once resided there.
When it was built in the 19th century, the Dakota was far away from the confines of the city. Today, surrounded by numerous other buildings, it is located in one of the residential areas of New York City. The Dakota was designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, who also designed the Plaza Hotel.
Strawberry Fields which commemorate John Lennon's life are located near the Dakota in Central Park at West Side between 71st and 74th Streets.
