Description
The birthplace of African-American culture!
The birthplace of African-American culture and a stronghold of the struggle for equal rights, Harlem is no longer the ghetto it was in the 1970s. On the contrary, it has become one of New York's most vibrant and trendy neighborhoods!
And even if this has come at the cost of a certain amount of gentrification, the neighborhood has managed to preserve the essence of its cultural heritage: street art, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, and soul food!
Countless famous individuals were born or lived in Harlem: Louis Armstrong, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marcus Garvey...
All these Harlemites contributed to the exceptional heritage of this neighborhood steeped in history.
From Baptist churches radiating the fervor of gospel services to the legendary Apollo Theater, from narrow streets lined with typical brownstones to prestigious Columbia University… succumb to Harlem's understated charm!
