First time in Harlem and loved every bit of it. Very cosmopolitan, great restaurants, boutiques. A great place to spend an afternoon watching the world go by.

It's not disappointing, it's a neighborhood, people live there, so there's not much to do if you don't. There are a lot of restaurants though, bars, lounges.

Just a mellow place to visit with wide streets and beautiful old brownstones. You can take the Jazz tour, the Jewish tour or whatever special tour there is to offer. Not to mention listening to gospel music in one of the many churches on Sunday

There are so many restaurants here. My favorite is the French one on 125th and Malcolm X (Chez Lucienne). MAKE RESERVATIONS! They have a prix fixe menu from 4-6.15pm (order within that time) for $21! AWESOME. so much better than the ones downtown. Worth the trip! Gets REALLY crowded around 7.30-8pm. Excellent service.
