Harlem is an iconic Manhattan neighborhood famous for its historical and cultural significance to the African-American community and to the city as a whole. It was the epicenter of the artistic and intellectual revolution known as the Harlem Renaissance, and it continues to draw locals and tourists to its lively nightlife, entertainment, and culinary scenes.
The Life
Dozens of trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes run along Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass Boulevards, and there is always a hive of activity in and around the shops on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Apollo Theater is a landmark performance center for African-American artists, and St. Nicholas, Marcus Garvey, Morningside, and Central Parks are all lush greenspaces in which to escape the noise and clamor of the city streets.
