About Harlem

There’s a lot to learn about Harlem!

Stretching from the East River to the Hudson in upper Manhattan, from Spanish Harlem at East 96th St all the way to 155th Street in Sugar Hill, Harlem is one of Manhattan’s largest and most intriguing neighborhoods.

Where else will you find over 400 churches rocking with the spirit every Sunday? In a single weekend you can travel the world gastronomically—from ragin’ Cajun to Western Africa. In the mood for Thai-Latin? We’ve got it! Savvy shoppers come uptown for handmade hats, top name skincare and cosmetics, African-inspired contemporary clothing, and wearable art.

Ever since the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920’s, Harlem has attracted great artists and writers, performers and musicians. The tradition continues today with a vital gallery scene, dance and theater troupes, and poetry slams. And architect aficionados will find Harlem is a feast for the eyes.
