Neighborhood highlights

South Harlem has been defined in various ways, with varying boundaries, but a common definition is from 110th Street/Central Park North up to 125th Street, and from the western edge of Morningside Park to Park Avenue. Parks (Marcus Garvey and Central) play a large part in many residents’ lives. The handsome brownstones surrounding Marcus Garvey Park and on many other streets contribute to the neighborhood’s historic charm, as do the numerous churches, some acting as community centers and others drawing tourists in search of a gospel service. The “main street of Harlem,” as it is sometimes called, is 125th Street, a commercial and artistic hub. Among its attractions: the legendary Apollo Theater (a 108-year-old landmark); the Studio Museum in Harlem, currently closed for rebuilding; and the popular Whole Foods Market, in a building filled with national chain stores. Vendors in outdoor booths also line the street, and a Target and a Trader Joe’s are in the works. Because of building codes, there are no tall buildings and wide sidewalks. People have space. Marcus Garvey Park has an outdoor swimming pool, two full basketball courts where local talents show off their moves, a baseball playing field, two playgrounds, a recreation center, and a dog run, in addition to the 1,600-seat Richard Rodgers Amphitheater, completed in 2011. The outdoor theater hosts music, dance, and theater events, especially during the summer. Other offerings, including aerobics classes and Zen meditation, continue beyond the summer. The busy Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market is a vibrant indoor-outdoor collection of stalls at 52 West 116th Street, just east of Malcolm X Boulevard. Wares sold by vendors include clothing, jewelry, African masks, crafts and artwork. Although slightly past the neighborhood’s northern boundary, the popular Red Rooster Harlem offers a gospel Sunday brunch, and the famous soul food restaurant Sylvia’s is a few steps beyond.
