Driving Downtown Neighborhoods - Harlem - Manhattan New York City New York USA - Episode 9.
Starting Point: .
Harlem is a large neighborhood in the northern section of the New York City borough of Manhattan. Since the 1920s, Harlem has been known as a major African-American residential, cultural and business center.
Since New York City's revival in the late 20th century, long-time residents of Harlem have been experiencing the effects of gentrification and new wealth.
Manhattan is often described as the cultural and financial capital of the world and hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough. It is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626, for 60 guilders or about $24 in 1626 and US$1050 today. Manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of Manhattan Island, including real estate, estimated to exceed US$3 trillion in 2013; residential property sale prices in Manhattan typically exceeded US$1,400 per square foot ($15,000/m2) as of 2016.
New York County is the United States' second-smallest county by land area (larger only than Kalawao County, Hawaii), and is also the most densely populated U.S. county. It is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2015 population of 1.6 million living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 72,033 residents per square mile (27,812/km2), higher than the density of any individual American city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases that number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.
Many districts and landmarks in Manhattan have become well known, as New York City received a record of nearly 60 million tourists in 2015, and Manhattan hosts three of the world's 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. The borough hosts many world-renowned bridges, such as the Brooklyn Bridge; skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world; and parks, such as Central Park. There are many historically significant places in Manhattan: Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere, and the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement. The City of New York was founded at the southern tip of Manhattan, and the borough houses New York City Hall, the seat of the City's Government. Numerous colleges and universities are located in Manhattan, including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top 35 in the world.
The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. With a U.S. Census Bureau-estimated 2015 population of 8,550,405 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.

Harlem, New York City - Video Tour of Hamilton Heights, Manhattan
Welcome to this new video tour offered by New York Habitat. Today you will get a look into yet another great neighborhood of New York City, Hamilton Heights. Watch the other episodes of the Harlem series from New York Habitat : Morningside Heights (
) & West and Central Harlem ( )
The borders of Hamilton Heights are 135th Street to the south, 155th Street to the north, the Hudson River to the west and Edgecombe Avenue to the east.
History:
Hamilton Heights is a neighborhood within the area of Harlem and it takes its name after Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, who lived there in the last few years of his life.
Hamilton Grange National Memorial
Alexander Hamilton came to New York at the age of 17 to study at King's College, which is now Columbia University. He later became a politician and built his federal style house at this location in 1802, which is called Hamilton Grange National Memorial. One of the most interesting moments of Hamilton's life was actually his death. He died on July 12, 1804 as a result of being mortally wounded from a pistol duel the day before with Aaron Burr, who was, at the time, the Vice President of the United States! In those days dueling politicians was not just a figure of speech!
Dance Theatre of Harlem
The Dance Theatre of Harlem is a ballet company and school which was created to introduce ballet and dance to the children of Harlem. Today it has grown into a multi-cultural company which offers training in ballet, choreography and music to people of all ages.
The Harlem School of the Arts
The Harlem School of the Arts was founded in 1964 to create an opportunity for the children of Harlem to be exposed to and to learn musical instruments. It started with piano lessons and later violin, drama, visual arts and dance classes were added.
Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill is a neighborhood within Hamilton Heights. In the 1920s this area was inhabited by wealthy African-American people who had such a sweet lifestyle that it was given the name Sugar Hill. It has since been declared an historic district due to the amazing rowhouses that have been preserved in the district
City College of New York
City College of New York was the first public college in the United States. It was founded in order to give the opportunity to immigrant youth to attend college. City College occupies a large part of the Hamilton heights section of Harlem, from 130th to 141st Streets, and has many historical buildings and monuments on its campus.
Riverbank State Park
Riverbank State Park occupies 28 acres of land in Hamilton Heights along the Hudson River. Inspired by the urban rooftop designs in Japan, this park was built on several levels, which makes it very unusual and different from the other parks in New York City. This park offers many outdoor sports activities.
After seeing so many historical houses in this video, don't forget that New York Habitat ( ) has a variety of rental possibilities and especially fully furnished apartments rentals and vacation rentals as well. If you want to find an accommodation in Hamilton Heights, check out these apartments:
A fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment located in the heart of Hamilton Heights (NY-14609 - ) on West 142nd Street.

The bedroom comes with a full sized bed, a closet for storage and a TV connected to cable.
I hope you had fun watching this video tour of Hamilton Heights!

10 Hours of Walking in NYC as Kim Jong Un
10 Hours of Walking in NYC as Kim Jong Un. Make sure you SUBSCRIBE and join the QSquad ARMY!
As a follow up to my 10 hours of walking in NYC wearing a romper, I decided to see how New Yorkers would react to seeing Kim Jong Un walking around. We walked through 3 neighborhoods: Harlem, Wall Street, and Koreatown. New York definitely took notice. To be honest, I was quite nervous to see how New York would react to this Kim Jong-Un social experiment. I was surprised as to the positive reception he received. There was a lot of comedy, a little bit of catcalling and only a tiny bit of street harassment. In a strange way, it gives me hope that differences can be resolved between all the countries and that we can find a way to co-exist as well as find a way to help the people of North Korea.

Harlem, New York City - Video Tour of West Harlem, Central Harlem & Apollo Theater
In this new video tour, New York Habitat ( ) presents you a great way to learn about Central Harlem and West Harlem, the historic neighborhood in New York City! You will learn many lesser-known aspects of the fabulous neighborhood just a short subway ride away from midtown and downtown Manhattan.
Don't hesitate to check out our other video about the Morningside Heights part of Harlem, New York. ( )
Harlem is a large, historical area in northern Manhattan. It's a major residential, cultural and business center. It stretches from the East River west to the Hudson River between 155th Street to the north and 110th Street to the south, which is the northern boundary of Central Park.
Harlem is so large, in fact, that it would be impossible to cover in just one video. So instead, our first stop in our Harlem series will be Central Harlem & West Harlem!
Harlem History:
Harlem was originally a Dutch village founded around 1658. It was named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. In the early 20th century many African Americans moved to this area and in the 1920s and 30s many famous artists, musicians and businessmen became well known in Harlem and took Black culture to a higher level, in a movement known as the Harlem Renaissance.
The Studio Museum of Harlem -- 124 West 125th Street
At The Studio Museum of Harlem, there is more about black history including guided tours, readings and exhibitions of African American art and culture. There is a suggested donation for entry.
The Apollo Theater - 253 West 125th Street
The Apollo Theater is one of the most famous and historic music hall in the U.S. This famous club is almost exclusively associated with African American music and performance. During the Harlem Renaissance and specifically in 1934, the Apollo Theater introduced its regular Amateur Night shows, during which many new stars were born and legends were made. In fact the Apollo launched the careers of famous artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey...just to name a few. During amateur night, the audience would clap to approve the performers they liked and boo the performers they weren't too excited about. At that point an executioner, a man with a broom, would sweep the bad performers off the stage. Even today, every Wednesday is Amateur Night at the Apollo.
Accommodations in Harlem:
If you want to catch the true spirit of Harlem, you should consider renting an apartment from New York Habitat . We have vacation rental all over Harlem , and with its convenient location in Manhattan plus excellent express subway access, you'll be well connected to all parts of the Big Apple. New York Habitat's selection of Harlem homes includes furnished apartments in historic townhouses that will allow you to experience the real African American unforgotten history.
Have a look too to the 1 Bedroom Vacation Rental in Harlem featured in the video.
Shopping in Harlem -- 125th Street
125th Street runs from east to west and is considered the Main Street of Harlem. Since 2001 many sections of the street have been developed with new stores, such as Old Navy, H&M, Starbucks Coffee and the famous Magic Johnson Theaters, a chain of movie theaters, developed by the famous African American basketball player, Magic Johnson. So you can definitely spend a fun day.
I hope you have had fun with our little tour of Central Harlem and West Harlem. It's only a small part of the greater Harlem area. If you know of other must-see places in Harlem, leave us a quick note in the comment box below.
If you are planning a trip to New York, you should definitely consider Harlem as a home base. It's just a short subway ride away from midtown and downtown Manhattan and furnished apartment rentals are generally less expensive in Harlem than other areas of Manhattan. Don't forget that we have apartments not only in Harlem but also in many other neighborhoods of New York City.

Driving Downtown - Bronx 4K - New York City USA
Driving Downtown - Bronx New York City New York USA - Episode 40.
Starting Point: .
The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, within the U.S. state of New York.
The Bronx contains one of the five poorest Congressional Districts in the United States, the 15th, but its wide diversity also includes affluent, upper-income and middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park and Country Club.[10][11] The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the 1970s, culminating in a wave of arson. Since then the communities have shown significant redevelopment starting in the late 1980s before picking up pace from the 1990s until today.
About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space,[5] including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. These open spaces are situated primarily on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan.
The name Bronx originated with Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.[6][7][8] The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany and Italy) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic), as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.[9] This cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
Revitalization
In 1997, the Bronx was designated an All America City by the National Civic League, acknowledging its comeback from the decline of the mid-century.[65] In 2006, The New York Times reported that construction cranes have become the borough's new visual metaphor, replacing the window decals of the 1980s in which pictures of potted plants and drawn curtains were placed in the windows of abandoned buildings.[66] The borough has experienced substantial new building construction since 2002. Between 2002 and June 2007, 33,687 new units of housing were built or were under way and $4.8 billion has been invested in new housing. In the first six months of 2007 alone total investment in new residential development was $965 million and 5,187 residential units were scheduled to be completed. Much of the new development is springing up in formerly vacant lots across the South Bronx.[67]
Sports
The Bronx is the home of the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.
New York City - Video Tour of Greenwich Village, Manhattan
Greenwich Village is a small area below 14th Street and west of Broadway. It is famous to have been the home to rebels, nonconformists, beatniks, bohemians and starving artists for over 100 years now. New York Habitat ( ) offers features today a video tour of this great area.
You will find the full article about Greenwich Village on New York Habitat blog
Don't hesitate to discover the other video tours provided by New York Habitat such as Morningside Heights in Harlem or Times Square
Starting in the late 1800s, Greenwich Village became the epicenter of art and music in New York. Artists and musicians from all over flocked to the Village where they found camaraderie, inspiration and affordable housing. The paths of many famous musicians' writers and actors passed through the eclectic streets of Greenwich Village including Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Edgar Allen Poe, and Mark Twain.
Washington Square Park:
A great place to start our tour of Greenwich Village is Washington Square Park. It is home of the famous Washington Square Arch, which was built in the late 1800s to celebrate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration as president of the United States.
The interesting thing about Greenwich Village is that the starving artists were the ones who brought charm and appeal to the area. Ultimately the very appeal they created started attracting wealthier New Yorkers, which drove the prices up and, eventually, caused most starving artists to relocate elsewhere in the city.
Luckily, the charm remains strong in the Village and it's a great place to rent a furnished apartment during your next trip to New York. New York Habitat has tons of apartments throughout the Village and all over New York City.
For example, we have this beautiful one bedroom accommodation in the heart of Greenwich Village (NY-7565) which is just a few blocks away from Washington Square Park.
Another great option is this Greenwich Village two bedroom vacation rental (NY-15468) in the heart of the action on Fifth Avenue.
New York Habitat provides great possibilities of accommodations with vacation rentals & Bed & Breakfast in New York City.
MacDougal Street:
MacDougal Street is a one-way street about 6 blocks long in Greenwich Village. It has been the subject of many songs and poems. It's been frequented by numerous famous individuals including Bob Dylan, Matthew Broderick and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Cafe Wha? - at 115 Macdougal Street
Located at 115 Macdougal Street, Cafe Wha? is a club in Greenwich Village that has been home to various musicians and comedians.
West 4th Street Courts:
At the West 4th Street Courts, also known as The Cage, you will find some of the finest street ball players in the country.
The Speakeasy - 106 Perry Street
In the time of Prohibition back in the 1920's, secret bars known as speakeasies sprung up all over the city. Many were located right here in Greenwich Village. American author Henry Miller opened a short-lived speakeasy in the basement of his home at 106 Perry St.
The Friends Building - 90 Bedford Street
If the names Joey, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe mean anything to you, make sure you visit the corner of Bedford St. & Grove St. in Greenwich Village to pay homage to the Friends' Building. This is the building where the Friends supposedly lived in the hit sitcom we all know and love. In fact, before the producers decided on the title Friends, the working title of the show was Once Upon a Time in the Village.
Narrowest House in NYC -- 75 ½ Bedford St
Coming in at nine and a half feet wide, you'll find the narrowest house in NYC at 75 ½ Bedford St. The Pulitzer Prize winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay lived there for a short while.
If I've missed some of you're favorite Village must-sees, be sure to leave them share them in the comments below.
And don't forget, one of the best ways to experience Greenwich Village is to live there. What better way to live there than by renting a vacation rental apartment from New York Habitat?
NYC Ferguson Protest turns onto 125th Street in Harlem (Short Version)
On November 25, 2014, a grand jury's decision in Ferguson, MO was closely watched around the United States. Reaction to the event sparked protests in New York City -- beginning in Union Square, then Times Square, up Columbus Avenue and eventually through Harlem. The NYPD can be seen here blocking southbound traffic on Malcolm X Blvd. and eastbound traffic on 125th Street around midnight that evening as protesters turn right (from the top of the screen towards the left side of the screen). Helicopters buzzing overhead, apologies for my shoddy iPhone camera work.

The Triborough Bridge (known officially as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and sometimes referred to as the RFK Triborough Bridge, the RFK Bridge, or simply the RFK) is a complex of bridges and elevated expressway viaducts[2] in New York City. The bridges link the boroughs of Manhattan , Queens and the Bronx.
The Harlem River Drive is a 4.20-mile (6.76 km) long north–south parkway in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs along the west bank of the Harlem River from the Triborough Bridge in East Harlem to 10th Avenue in Inwood, where the parkway ends and the road continues north as Dyckman Street. The portion of the Harlem River Drive from the Triborough Bridge to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge is a limited-access highway. South of the Triborough Bridge, the parkway continues toward lower Manhattan as FDR Drive. All of the Harlem River Drive is designated New York State Route 907P (NY 907P), an unsigned route.

Rich Parents In New York City Are Mad Their Schools Are Trying To Desegregate (HBO)
Though New York prides itself on being an open-minded and diverse city, it has one of the most racially segregated public school system in the nation.
And at a time when schools from Arizona to Tennessee and New Jersey are all debating ways to better integrate students, New York’s continued inequities stand out. The city’s elite public schools are overrepresented by wealthier, white and Asian children despite the fact that 67 percent of the public school population are black and latino.
This summer, there's momentum behind a range of proposals to address segregation by changing admissions policies at the middle school and high school levels.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, and other educational leaders say the goal is to uphold their mission and to create opportunity for students who have long been shut out.
But not everyone is enthusiastic about change.
In one district, a grassroots plan to reserve 25 percent of seats in every middle school for struggling students has angered the parents of high-performing, well-resourced children.
VICE News met with Kim Watkins, the chair of the Community Education Council for District 3, which is comprised of sixteen middle schools spread across the more affluent parts of the Upper West Side and black, brown, and poorer sections of southern Harlem.
In the district's best schools, fewer than 10 percent of students are from low-income families. At its worst schools, almost 100 percent of the students are poor and of color.
For some New Yorkers embracing initiatives for diversity and equal opportunity is easy to do in theory, harder to do in practice.
