Harlem

Harlem is home to the Apollo Theater, Harlem School of the Arts, and El Museo del Barrio, which specialises in Latin American and Caribbean art. There are housing projects and rent is relatively cheap compared to the rest of Manhattan, but costs are rising as it's beginning to gentrify. Harlem has great nightlife and there's always something going on. The mini-neighborhood known as Spanish Harlem isn't to be missed.
