My school was across the street, P.S. 57. almost everyday during the summer and Sundays my 4 sibs and I would walk over to Central Park & spend the day there. Sometimes we'd spend all day at the Eagle or Cosmo movie theatre where we'd see a triple feature for 1.50! And who can forget La Marqueta! Bargains galore! I used to HATE when my mom would drag my sister and me to buy underwear 8 for a dollar, and the vendor would always ask "Is it for you?" ugh.

[@lichi1244eva]

I lived in Brooklyn, but in the 1990s Harlem was an integral part of my life. I was always up there, eating at Uptown Juice Bar or buying doubles for $1 on 127th Street. I took African dance classes at Wadleigh on 114th St, National Black Theatre, Oberia Dempsey, Minisink, Countee Cullen, and the Harlem Y. I would dance to the drums at Mount Morris Park and met one of my long term boyfriends one summer at Grant's tomb. This was such a magical time in my life, from my late teens to 20s and I will always hold Harlem close for being the backdrop to that special time.

You failed to mention Italian East Harlem which still exists. Patsy's pizza on 1st and 116th street. Rao's Italian restaurant on Pleasant Ave. Both have been staples of the neighborhood for about 100 years. Also, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Feast. Which is very colorful and rich in culture. All my personal favorite parts about Harlem.

I’m a Brooklyn kid, born & raised. Dads job transferred him to Colorado, where we HAD to move to….but that’s another story. Anyway, as a kid, we would take the train into the city, head to Harlem and just “hang out”. Sometimes we would be chased out of a neighborhood cause we simply didn’t live there…LOL. AHH…the good ol’ days. I’m speaking of the late 50’s and 60’s and a touch of the 70’s. Missed the crack head period….glad of that, it would have broken my heart but NY persevered. Been back to Brooklyn many times and Harlem but now, you have made it imperative that I do with your compelling dissertation. Thank You

It is my understanding and it’s been 21 years since I’ve been to New York that the Harlem that I grew up with knowing about no longer exists it’s just a name. I was even told by one of my friends who moved to Harlem in the 1980s not to waste my time coming because it’s not what I think it is.

I never lived in Harlem, but spent a fair amount of time there from the mid 1980's to the mid 1990's. Yeah, it's a little cleaner and ostensibly safer, however, all of Manhattan has lost its soul. Back in the day, people would go into Harlem or downtown Delancey, Canal, etc. to get clothes and sneakers that you could not get ANYWHERE else. Now, it's all corporate. Same ish as you find in Peoria, IL or El Paso, Texas. Nothing particularly special about NYC in general, or Harlem specifically anymore.

Harlem ain't Harlem nomore. They took it back

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

There's still aspects of Harlem that's still flavorable but the gentrification and pricing out of the local residents is in full effect & very hurtful to witness A great deal of the Mom and Pop shops , clothing stores, music stores and restaurants that We love have damn near all but disappeared It's definitely not the same

Is it possible for you to do a video about Greenwich Village ? Include its history , beginning and present condition.

[@xxmoonlightxx6304]

I was born in Harlem. It's not the same, I live in New Jersey, and I love it there.

[@dxwallace55]

So many people are saying it is "not the same". What does that mean? I'm really curious.(Asking as a Chicagoan bit city boy who has never been to New York, and still can't get ta true sense of what the city is like.)

This was amazing! Born and raised/named Harlem, Grew up at 45 Tiemann Pl. & 124th St. this was cool to watch. Unfortunately, Harlem is not the same! Miss the days of the Jazz Mobiles @ Grant’s Tomb in summer🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@MrHarlemHarris In Chicago, we had an event called "Summer Dance", in Grant Park in Chicago. Every Friday in the summer, a different kind of Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, Afro-Brazilian, Latin Jazz bands. Huge outdoor dance floor. Endless Sangria. Latin folks welcomed us Black Folks with open arms to come in and participate. Latin and Black cuties everywhere!! Afro-Cuban bands just be rocking!!!

[@dxwallace55]

@@MrHarlemHarris That's funny, I wanna come to New York. You may not get this, but if you never been there, it's hard to get a sense of what it really is. Luckily for me, all I need is some good food and some good girl watching, and plenty of places to walk. I'm in Seattle now, Chicago was home for 40 years, it's a world class city, but too much negative stuff about my life experiences in Chicago to say I have fond memories or it like New Yorker's always say...
