American Food, Sunday Jazz a must if you are in Harlem---
Walk along Frederick Douglas Blvd. in the area real estate agents dubbed "SoHa" and you'll be immediately drawn to 116th's large sports bar, Harlem Tavern. Joining the many restaurants that have sprouted up in the nabe in recent years, this beer garden is always buzzing with activity. On any given night, you can join the groups of fans catching major sporting events on the multiple flat screens. Stop buy during the day on the weekend and you'll see families enjoying brunch as a jazz quartet provides ambient music. Though Harlem Tavern is years away from qualifying as a Harlem staple, it has been a (mostly) welcomed addition to the neighborhood.

Amy Ruth's feels as if it has always existed. It's confident and comfortable—just as we imagine Carl Redding's grandmother, the restaurant's namesake, must have been. Redding opened his soul-food kitchen in 1998, a year after Amy Ruth passed away, and what a tribute it is to her, to her cooking and to a number of noteworthy African Americans-

When speaking about upscale restaurants in Harlem, Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster is always mentioned, but if you look below, you'll find our pick: Ginny's Supper Club, a nightclub that will take you back in time to the Harlem Renaissance. It'll cost you nothing to get in, but you'll spend some coins on the cocktails and the food items which are quite different from what you'll get upstairs at the Red Rooster. Head to Ginny's Supper Club on any given night of the week and you'll hear the sounds of jazz, reggae, and rock musicians jamming on stage. During Sunday's buffet brunch, enjoy your meal while watching Vy Higgensen's Gospel for Teens Choir perform.

An authentic taqueria in East Harlem, Taco Mix is one of the reasons why Chipotle would never make it in El Barrio. Serving up tacos that look and taste like they would if you were eating in Mexico, this small eatery doesn't need the frills of fancy décor to keep customers coming back. Simple, but flavorful ingredients and cooks that know how to prepare an addictive al pastor are the essentials that make the trip on the 6 train worth it.

Formally known as the Southern Style Kitchen, Charles is a buffet restaurant that serves some of the most succulent chicken to ever be prepared above the Mason-Dixon line. Not only is the triple seasoned chicken prepared with a North Carolinian technique, but the corn bread is worth those few extra subway stops past 125th. Is it fancy like Red Rooster? No, not even close. But does it deliver on an excellent Harlem take on soul food staples? Absolutely.

People outside of NYC think of a music video show when they hear "106 & Park," but residents of El Barrio know the historical relevance that location has to the New York street art movement. Harlem community activist Ray "Sting Ray" Rodriguez created the Graffiti Hall of Fame back in 1980 to provide a place for the city's talented graffiti artists to show off their skills. Since it's in the courtyard of the Jackie Robinson Educational Complex, visit when school isn't in session to see some of the dopest street art done by local artists and others who have traveled to East Harlem to have their place in the Hall of Fame.

Founded in 1969, El Museo Del Barrio is another great museum that spotlights the works of Harlem's diverse creative community. Specializing in the visual arts by people in the Latin and Caribbean communities, El Museo was created as a way for underrepresented artists of Latin descent to showcase their work. A visit to the museum will give you insight into the Nuyorican movement, as a lot of the work represents the Puerto Rican community in the city. While spending time in the museum and viewing the work is a great experience, El Museo also conducts cultural enrichment activities through their performing arts series and educational programs.

Originally called the King Model Homes, these 130 row houses were built between 1891-93 on four blocks in Harlem on West 138th and 139th Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues. Three different architecture firms designed different blocks: McKim, Mead and White designed the houses on the north side of West 139th; Bruce Price and Clarence S. Luce designed the south side of West 139th Street and the north side of West 138th Street; James Brown Lord designed the south side of West 138th Street. Although the original residents were white, when blacks started moving into Harlem after the First World War, these houses were renamed Strivers' Row and became home to many successful professionals, including lawyers, doctors and administrators, as well as famous Harlem residents such as composer W. C.
