The neighborhood

Harlem

This stretch of central Harlem is deeply residential — modest brick buildings, longstanding churches, and a tight-knit community that has weathered decades of disinvestment and is now seeing renewed attention. Harlem Hospital and the 135th Street branch of the NYPL anchor the area.
