Exploring East Harlem/Spanish Harlem - El Barrio, Manhattan, NYC

[@henrysantiago2176]

Con la bandera de Puerto Rico en la mascarilla y ni una sola palabra de español 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Por que todos los videos mios son en Ingles la mayoria de mis seguidores son de otros paises y hago videos de diferentes barrios en NYC no solo East Harlem, orientese primero antes de criticar

[@pepedechein149]

Ni una palabra de español?

Born and raised Puerto Rican here, i got family living in El Barrio and New York state overall. Loved it there, awesome video man! 🗽🇵🇷

Beautiful murals around the area. There's so much talent whether it be art, music, etc. It's a vibrant neighborhood, especially during the spring/summer when there are festivals with salsa music and dancing. I love El Barrio...thanks for a great post, Manny!

[@MannyExploresVlog]

I love East Harlem, especially during the summers, lots of festivals and cultures. Lots of great talent came out of this neighborhood.

I was born also in NYC South Bronx & have my brothers still living there. 14:53

[@cristobalvalladares973]

Grew up in Brownsville Brooklyn, but Spanish Harlem was my first love. For a young Latino paradise. The women in the spring, dios mio. In the 70s I used to attend as Latin school of music. Played congas. Forgot the name If anyone remembers please let me know if still open.

[@SusannahPerri]

Thank you for making this video. I will be coming to New York in three days, staying on East 100 Street, so this is really helpful for me to see the neighborhood. I love the vibe, beautiful murals and the architecture! I am coming from California and will be in New York for nine days. I don’t like doing touristy things, just want to experience New York on a real local level. Can’t wait!

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Thats awesome, you will get a great experience exploring local NYC, so much things to do.

[@Sky-y5i1b]

Nice tour, brought back nice memories.

[@2009Lavoz]

One of those red buildings is the church, “St. Cecilia.” That’s where mom’s frequently visited.

Hey, Manny, wuzup bro, big fan of yours thanks for posting east Harlem EL Barrio. you should visit in the summer its kicking then thanks again brother .

[@FoodandFootprints]

Gotta love the old school cuchifrito spots!

[@MannyExploresVlog]

One of my favorite spots and one of the reasons why I visit East Harlem.

[@FlexMckenzie]

I only been to Spanish Harlem a few times. Great job bro.

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Its a cool neighborhood, thanks bro.

[@Gigigooz]

My hood. Spa Harlem, where I grew up. So good to see these streets anytime. I love it. You are right about the talent from the area. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and there were so many ppl. I grew up with that are very well known in entertainment and other industries...right from the projects. I left NYC in 2006 and I still miss it like crazy. Great video. T/U

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Thats really cool, I bet a lot has changed since 2006.

[@Gigigooz]

Yes the neighborhood has seen changes but there is still a lot that has remained the same.

[@ricanredru4760]

I keep on hearing this term spa ha everywhere. I'm not even from New York City but I was brought there as a baby visiting with my grandparents to visit my grandfather's sister who ended up passing away in the 90s. However even I know even when my grandparents were children Spanish Harlem was still Spanish Harlem. One day I plan to visit and just take in the history of the neighborhood before it becomes a thing of the past. I pray that they still call the neighborhood Spanish Harlem given that there's other Hispanic minorities besides Puerto Ricans living in the neighborhood to at least keep the legacy going on

[@nyckidd6004]

@@ricanredru4760 I wish more Puerto Rican’s would come back to the neighborhood

[@natashapbooks]

Loved the murals and the beautiful red brick church. Thank you for the video

El Barrio! The summer festivals there are the best. Never gets old. Thanks for sharing great content of once again neighborhoods that not many cover. Keep exploring Manny and exposing our culture as deserved. ☺️That’s the Lares flag and guess who’s from there? My momma. I lived there as a kid and went to school there as well. El pueblo de las mujeres más hermosas they call it. They’re NOT lying😜lol.

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Thats great that your mom is from the beautiful town of Lares, I love the summer festivals in East Harlem, and I love covering places that not too many people cover, thats where you get the real NY feel.

[@vicenteesparza8867]

I have a question for you. My wife and I are planning on buying an apartment in East Harlem because we like the spanish influence. We are mexican and are being told that it could actually be a problem because I guess puerto ricans and mexicans don't get along I guess? I've never heard of that but just wanted to know some more info on it considering you grew up in that neighborhood. Thanks man!

[@Los_Chanchulleros]

@@vicenteesparza8867 the problem that people from Mexico have with those from Puerto Rico is that the former cannot bear that while they can be deported, those from Puerto Rico are born with United States citizenship. The rest of the animosity occurs because the emigration of people from Mexico is already too much, and even the Americans themselves feel displaced.

[@hectornegron9155]

Love your facemask Manny. Hope it's designed for protection not just looks. That used to be my neighborhood. I lived on 104th bet 3rd and Lex and worked around the corner, 3rd Ave bet 104th and 105th. You mentioned Tito Puente. His mother, Ercidia Ortiz, was a native of San Germán, my hometown in Puerto Rico. According to Tito himself she was his biggest influence, the one who helped and motivated him the most to pursue a career in music. If only so he could stop driving her crazy by hitting the pots and pans in her kitchen. 😀 Thanks for sharing buddy. Loved seeing my old hood once again. Regards from Puerto Rico. Be safe.🇵🇷.

Gracias Manny

[@LittleTut]

Nice walk Manny! Love the brownstones. As a DC native, I still think of New York in general as high rises and apartment buildings. I know there are single family homes neighborhoods also. Another thing I've noticed that, yes like you said, it seems New York's keeping the old high rise apartment buildings and other buildings, some being renovated instead of torn down and rebuild to newer. Hence, the older looking neighborhoods through out New York in general. DC does that, but has a lot of newer buildings even within neighborhoods. Dc also much much smaller than New York (NYC). I can imagine it's very expensive in New York to do a total tear down and more cost effective to to a remodel/gut maybe. I guess. :))

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Yes it might be really expensive in NYC to tear down the building. There are lots of residential areas and neighborhoods with nice houses in NYC, it shows you how huge the city is. Hope I visit DC soon.

[@LittleTut]

@@MannyExploresVlog Last time was Oct 2016.. visited cousin in Brooklyn who retired as a NY school teacher/trainer. Would love to visit Dumbo, Meat District, etc., like I see in your videos though. :))

East Harlem, or Spanish Harlem, is a Hispanic neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan where Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Mexicans and Colombians live.

[@rubinreyes4492]

Very little cubans and Colombians I haven't seen one.

One of Manhattan's beautiful neighborhoods. That is East Harlem. I still feel bad though hearing the Burger King robbery that the took the life of the beautiful young women. I do hope NYPD would do full speed in solving the case.

[@SuperFriendsNYC]

Hello...I will visit it tomorrow...:) #SSO

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Thats great, be safe.

[@The1ByTheSea]

Spanish Harlem used to be larger ;at the time when West Side Story takes place in the 1950s there were jobs in New York :the Garmet District was big and going; but today everything is made overseas:there are no jobs Puerto Ricans have no need to go to live in Spanish Harlem,the Bronx or New York;when they can live in Florida or Texas: closer to Puerto Rico and climates more similar to Puerto Rico's climates .So Spanish Harlem is shrinking and disappearing .Also the old Puerto Ricans of Spanish Harlem are old and they are also moving and retiring to Florida and Texas .Why would they stay in New York : harsh climate and high taxes .So there is no new blood to infuse in the barrios of the N.E. and upper Midwest.

[@mariaramirez2889]

No matter what changes are it's still call El Barrio. We leave our foot printed. El Barrio Boricua.

[@GypsySoul222]

How is Spanish Harlem now as in crime? Worse? My hubby grew up in Wagner houses ...

Sad to see that state it’s in now. Not a Puerto Rican in sight, South Americans Mexicans, and Dominicans is all that’s there now. Nothing stays the same forever unfortunately.

[@pirigonzalez5329]

You need to go in the summer time. You passed the Church Where the Latin Lords were at one time. Please look it up. You passed it on 111th street and said nothing. Do more homework. You should have mentioned the Marketa on Park Ave and 116th St.
