Harlem, NY

Part of my stay was in Harlem, NYC, or "upper Manhattan". Traditionally, this part of New York County was not on most tourists maps, but it's becoming more attractive for those purposes lately.

One of the reasons is Dinosaur BBQ, a chain that is located in Syracuse and Rochester, NY.

It's absolutely fantastic food.

Harlem is still Harlem...the most famous black community in America. Cultural landmarks like the Cotton Club are still around.

Some of Harlem's beauty comes from its architechture. Most buildings have character.

Especially the brownstones.

It was at Dr. Strangejazz's place...a really fantastic brownstone...that I got to crash in for a few days. Look at Jazz...very impressive.

When you get the chance, go check out Harlem.
