A neighbourhood with soul: Harlem is a must 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 Haarlem, has become the African-American hub of New York. With a mishmash of cultures, influences and styles, Harlem is one of the roughest but also one of the hippest neighbourhoods in New York. Not only because of the jazz sounds that are everywhere or the beautiful murals, but also because of the unusual figures that colour the streets. In addition, the many restaurants and coffee shops in versatile Harlem are a real draw for the adventurous tourist. Harlem is versatile and good for your wallet.
