Harlem
At the northern part of the island is Harlem. In the 1800s, many black families moved to the neighbourhood of handsome brownstone houses , schools and shops. Harlem became a centre of arts and entertainment in the 1920s, an era known as the Harlem Renaissance. Black poets, painters, and musicians produced new work in this environment. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Billie Holiday performed in famous clubs like the Cotton Club. While Harlem turned slowly into a slum, it is now being revived and refurbished by families and groups interested in preserving the area’s black and African history.
Another famous New York neighbourhood is Greenwich Village, which became a home to struggling playwrights and artists. It is now a high rent district but remains an attraction to visitors who stroll along streets like Mac Dougal Street and stop in cafes, jazz clubs and bars.
Most New Yorkers and tourists navigate the city through the subway systems that connect with the railroads at Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station. Each day at least five hundred trains arrive and leave from Grand Central terminal. Travelling by New York cab is a bit more expensive, but always an experience to remember! New York cabbies are notorious for their wild deriving, and often tourists include tales about a harrowing cab ride. In their trip memories. The Staten Island Ferry offers a fabulous view of the Manhattan Skyline.
