Harlem's recent Renaissance is not a secret any longer - restaurants like Marcus Samuellson's Red Rooster have put the Harlem dining scene on the map in NYC. There are now dozens of great eating and drinking options from 110 to 130 st. for any budget or atmosphere. Finally, you're steps away from Central Park and all it has to offer. The northern edge rarely sees the tourist throngs like Central Park South and has some amazing trails and open areas to explore.

Access is good (express 2/3 and A train get you to mid-town in 20 minutes) and cabs are plentiful.

The neighborhood remains a fairly local one. Yes - this means there are black people, many of them lower income living on section 8 housing. If you take the time to say hello you'll find that neighbors look out for one another and treat you with respect. If you want Chelsea just cheaper, don't come to Harlem.

4 Halfway houses on the block means there are always interesting characters around.

Overall, we do not spend much on East Harlem as on Central Harlem, West Harlem or further downtown. Overall, Harlem has incredibly good restaurants, gyms, ENORMOUS population diversity and you are across the street from Central Park. The boulevards are very wide and nice to walk on.
