Agree that anything done by Spielberg has to be brilliant! Agree too that this scene is a hoot.
However, for the sake of accuracy, Spanish Harlem is further uptown and on the East Side.
West Side Story takes place, well, on the West Side, from the 30s up to 59th Street, and from Eighth Avenue west to the Hudson River, in an area known as 'Hell's Kitchen.'
