A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Living in Harlem for 20 years, I often walk to work through beautiful streets lined with brownstones. My home is near a park teeming with children playing. Although New York City is bustling, Harlem has a village-like feel that makes it unique. I frequently see elderly residents walking their dogs or others rushing off to school or work, fostering a friendly neighborhood atmosphere where greetings are exchanged.
New Orleans might be the home of jazz, but New York City is where many of the genre’s greats became stars – and Harlem was at the heart of it.
Many visitors to New York City don’t venture far north of Central Park—but they’re missing out. Harlem’s attractions are rich in history and culture: Walk in the footsteps of music legends at the Apollo Theater, savor delicious soul food at Sylvia’s, or marvel at a gothic cathedral so elaborate you’ll think you’re in Europe.
