First time staying in Harlem. So much to experience. Never would have left the neighborhood had we not had a new by in our group. Some off the typical beaten track things we found. United house of prayer was an excellent alternative to standing in line at Sylvia's. Try some tacos in Spanish Harlem! Loft was super spacious. Stylish and allowed get away time between teens and adults with the back bedroom and loft sleeping. Neighborhood super friendly from the corner store to talkative locals more than willing to share info and history. One neighbor even gave us stuff from downsizing. Great trip. Will definitely rebook next stay!
