A vibrant Manhattan neighborhood also known as El Barrio, East Harlem is a true melting pot of people and culture. Restaurant options are varied and plentiful thanks to the historical presence of Italians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, and African Americans. The art scene is fresh and lively due to numerous public murals and world-class institutions like El Museo del Barrio and the Museum of the City of New York.
The Life
A strong community vibe is enhanced by public art and family-owned businesses. There is a wonderful sense of local and cultural pride, and residents can find culinary gems sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Marcus Garvey and Thomas Jefferson Parks are lush greenspaces with an amphitheater and pool, respectively, and Harlem Meer, Conservatory Garden, and The Ravine are some of Central Park’s best-kept secrets.
