Welcome to Harlem
((please remember urban caching requires stealth))
I absolutely love urban caching, especially ones where you have to rely on your geosense, which is a great thing in NYC!
Taking you to such a beautiful park in Harlem because it's always depicted so terribly in pop culture.
Happy Caching!
ps - I love it when gecoaches teach me something so this is for those kindred spirits:
HARLEM
Harlem is currently defined as the area from Central Park North (West 110th Street) to West 155th Street; from Fifth Avenue to the east, westward to a combination of St. Nicholas Avenue and Morningside Avenue. Because the neighborhood is one of the largest in the city (roughly the size of Central Park), it goes through many changes from street to street and from block to block.
Yes, there is public housing. But there's also Strivers' Row, the Apollo Theater, and wide, tree-lined avenues. Songs have been sung here, played here, composed here, inspired here ... and that's just the beginning. Much of its history (and historic buildings) are under pressure from gentrification. But there's no doubt that, whatever changes occur, Harlem will always be a powerful influence on New York City (and, therefore, the rest of the United States).
Harlem is a vibrant neighborhood located in the northern part of Manhattan. Known for its rich cultural history, Harlem is home to a diverse population that includes African Americans, Latinos, and West Africans. The neighborhood boasts beautiful historic brownstones and a bustling commercial corridor along 125th Street, which features a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.
Harlem, Manhattan is a neighborhood known for its rich history and vibrant culture. The origins of Harlem's name can be traced back to the Dutch settlers who established the settlement of New Amsterdam in the early 17th century. At the time, the area was known as Nieuw Haarlem, named after the Dutch city of Haarlem. The English later anglicized the name to Harlem when they took control of the area in the 1660s. Over the centuries, Harlem has become a cultural hub and is renowned for its contributions to African-American art, music, and literature. Despite facing challenges over the years, Harlem has remained a beloved neighborhood cherished by locals and visitors alike.
