AROUND
From Malcolm X and Duke Ellington, to Josephine Baker and Langston Hughes, and the inimitable Apollo Theater and Hip-Hop, Harlem is the epicenter of 20th century black culture that looms large, even as time and the inevitable gentrification has slowly begun to impact the fabric of the neighborhood.
Migration from the south in the early 20th century established this neighborhood as a safe harbor and cultural hub that allowed the community to thrive. What remains is a rich tapestry of the arts, music, dance and literature known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Bisected by 125th street, the area lies at the headlands of Manhattan just above Central Park where you’ll be just minutes away from all of best of the northern part of the city. With deep-rooted institutions like Sylvia’s, Amy Ruth’s and Red Rooster’s famous soul food restaurants right alongside the whole foods and yoga set, this is the face of an evolving New York City. The Studio Museum is just around the corner, and the property is within walking distance of the three best urban parks: Morningside, Marcus Garvey and Central Park, as well as nearby Columbia University.
Do a sampling of some of the neighborhoods best restaurants, supper clubs and bars along Frederick Douglas Boulevard and take in what will hopefully be a neighborhood whose classic American heritage thrives unchanged for years to come.
