With its long, varied history and rich culture, Harlem is as well-known as the city itself. Settlers first arrived to the area in 1637; Harlem was officially incorporated in 1660. Harlem has gone through many transformations over the centuries – it was burned completely to the ground by British soldiers during the American Revolution, experienced an economic boom in the late 1800s, suffered during the Great Depression, and most recently became one of Manhattan’s trendiest neighborhoods.
Historic landmarks are everywhere in Harlem. The famous Apollo Theater was built around 1913 and hosted Showtime at the Apollo, a variety show that aired from 1987 to 2008. The Cotton Club, where Duke Ellington performed, was a popular nightclub from the early 1920s until around 1940. Other fascinating locations include the Hamilton Grange National Memorial, Minton’s Playhouse, and the James Bailey House.
With an amazing blend of art, culture, cuisine, and nightlife, Harlem is attracting more and more residents. By Manhattan standards, Harlem is affordable – roughly $1,000 less in rent than other Manhattan neighborhoods. Harlem is infinitely walkable – in fact, it’s probably the best way to get around, aside from the subway – and home to terrific parks, the City College of New York, and Riverbank State Park. Hotspots are many, and you’re sure to find your go-to restaurants, theaters, and nightclubs when you move to Harlem. A few to try include Red Rooster, Sylvia’s, Lighthouse, and Harlem Public.
