In this video David Hill with New York Habitat ( http://www.nyhabitat.com ) will tour another one of New York's neighborhoods, the easternmost Harlem neighborhood known as East Harlem. This video is a part of our series of Harlem video tours,
Please find on the New York Habitat's blog http://www.nyhabitat.com/blog/...
History:
East Harlem has a long history as being home to immigrant groups. In the late 19th century, as Harlem grew up, East Harlem became the local home to many Italian immigrants and became known as Italian Harlem. In the early 20th century a growing population of Puerto Rican immigrants began to make their homes in the neighborhood and by the end of World War II they had become the dominate population in East Harlem. As a result Italian Harlem became known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio.
El Museo Del Barrio
The Museo del Barrio is a museum founded in 1969 by teachers, parents and community activists It was created as a place to feature all types of art from Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, the museum offers classes and lessons about the arts of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Duke Ellington Circle
There is a statue of Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington at the corner of 110th Street & Fifth Avenue. It is the first monument in New York City dedicated to an African-American. Duke Ellington was a musician, composer, orchestra conductor and one of the most influential artists in the history of jazz music.
Tito Puente Way
Did you know that many famous musicians who contributed to the modern "Latin Jazz" style of music were born and raised in Spanish Harlem? One of them is Tito Puente, who was born in East Harlem in 1923. By playing piano, clarinet, drums and timbales, he was able to fuse mambo, jazz and afro-Cuban drumming and take it to a higher level.
Latin Music and Food
Spanish Harlem is known for its many musicians, like Eddie & Charlie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra and many more. You can catch some live Latin music and delicious food at various venues in Harlem.
Patsy's Pizzeria
Some remnants of the Italian immigration are still visible in East Harlem. Patsy's Pizzeria was founded in 1933 by an Italian immigrant named Pasquale Lanceri. When it opened it was one of the first pizzerias in New York City that started selling pizza by the slice.
Rao's Restaurant
It opened in 1896 and is known for its Southern Italian cuisine and tomato sauce. The walls of this restaurant are covered with photos of celebrities who have dined here, including Jerry Lewis, Woody Allen, Muhammad Ali and many more.
All Saints Roman Catholic Church
The Church of All Saints was designed in 1892 by the same architect who designed St. Patrick's Cathedral, located at Fifth Avenue & 51st Street. It was built in Venetian Gothic style, with details in terra cotta, hand-carved pews and stained glass.
A great way to experience East Harlem is to rent an apartment rather than an hotel room. New York Habitat offers tons of apartments http://www.nyhabitat.com/new-y... in East Harlem and New York City.
One of the possibility is to rent a fully furnished apartment http://www.nyhabitat.com/new-y... offered by New York Habitat.

Grew up in East Harlem and I entered the army in 1976. After 20 years I came back for a visit and was amazed at how much improved the neighborhood had become. Harlemites always had pride in the community tried to make Harlem a better place to live despite the financial problems in the 70s and 80s. The influx of new people, over the past 20 years, has also contirbuted to making Harlem what it is today. I live and work overseas now but any chance I get I visit Jefferson Park and Houses.

Thanks for your comment Charles!

I dislike East Harlem.... But I also love it. I dislike the crime rate, even though its roughly an average of 10 murders a year (10/365) I still don't like crime, especially when it's referred to people as a comparison to Detroit or Chicago, which isn't true at all, I was born in Chicago. I live in the East Village now :) |
