A neighbourhood with soul: Harlem is a must-visit for anyone who loves music, soul food and black culture vibes.
If you’re looking for an urban vibe, Harlem is the place to be. What was once a farming village, named after the Dutch city of Haarlem, has grown to become the African-American heart of New York. With a melting pot of cultures, influences and styles, Harlem is one of New York’s roughest, but also one of its trendiest neighbourhoods. Not only because of the sounds of jazz that are everywhere or the beautiful murals, but also because of the colourful characters who bring the streets to life. What’s more, the many restaurants and coffee shops in diverse Harlem are a real draw for the adventurous tourist. Harlem is diverse and easy on the wallet.
