"Take A Look at the Harlem Renaissance"
This is a great area, filled with stores, hair salons, brownstones, and real Harlem culture. A local described this area as “fun.” The people are fun and friendly and the block is home to one of many great soul food restaurants. This street is full of life. My favorite part of this street are the historic brownstones and the wonderful stories the architecture tells. On Sunday, there are women leaving the sermon with large colorful hats. This street defines Harlem in its heart: soul, fun, and warmth. This is a wonderful place to take a step back into a near-past of this neighborhood’s hey day.
