I just moved here with my husband 7 months ago. We explored probably 10 neighborhoods before coming here and many more since. We landed in the Upper West Side for now because it has a lot of what you're looking for. Many will smirk when you say, "I live in the Upper West Side" because it has an unearned reputation for being uppity and pretentious, but it's not. I really love it.
That said, we're considering other areas when it comes time to look again. Brooklyn Heights, TriBeCa, further north in UWS — around 82nd, West Village, Greenwich Village, Cobble Hill, Caroll Gardens, and some others. These all have a common feature — they feel like communities to us, and are incredibly walkable. Where we are now in UWS it's barely walkable.
Good luck!!
