From its murals to its famous taquerias (where you’ll find New York’s best tacos), East Harlem is considered one of New York’s hottest neighborhoods. You might hear East Harlem referred to as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, but no matter what you call this trendy neighborhood, it’s an ideal location that’s still affordable by Manhattan standards.
East Harlem is located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, extending from 96th Street north to the Harlem River, and from 5th Avenue east to the river. The northern section of Central Park, which includes the Museum of the City of New York, Fort Clinton, the Conservatory Garden, and the Butterfly Gardens of Central Park, sits directly across 5th Avenue from the neighborhood. Getting around Manhattan is quick and easy from East Harlem – the subway runs through East Harlem and contains several stations extending from 96th Street to 126th Street.
In addition to fantastic food that includes Latin-inspired cuisine, East Harlem is known for its brownstones – some of which are located in the East Harlem Historic District. Great locations within East Harlem include the El Museo del Barrio, the Graffiti Hall of Fame, and El Catano Community Garden. Thomas Jefferson Park, located along the river and containing a swimming pool, a dog park, and a skate park, provides even more outdoor space. Residents can walk or jog along Bobby Wagner Walk, a paved riverside path, or spend time admiring the sculptures at Harlem Art Park. Popular dining destinations include Patsy’s Pizzeria, Cuchifritos, Rao’s, Taco Mix, and Ricardo.
