H<\/span>arlem<\/strong>, a name like music to our ears. Whether it\u2019s the Harlem Shake or the Harlem Shuffle, but even before that, the smooth beats of its mythical jazz clubs, it makes you want to move. We\u00a0do\u00a0not simply walk the streets of Harlem, we jive, we shimmy, we salsa, we even do the Charleston. Here are just a few notes about this legendary Upper Manhattan neighborhood<\/strong>\u00a0to consider.<\/h5>\n

In Harlem, the tempo is rising<\/h2>\n

To get to Harlem, no directions are needed. Follow the melodies of a saxophone or trumpet north of the UES<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and UWS<\/strong><\/a>, right above Central Park <\/strong><\/a>between the Hudson River and 5th Avenue<\/strong><\/a>. You will arrive at an exciting place, the once cradle of African-American culture, music and arts, with a festive ambiance that's attracting the New York<\/strong><\/a> bourgeoisie like moths to a flame.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Harlem Renaissance of the Roaring Twenties\u00a0was just the spark. Fuel was added with the explosion of new developments,<\/strong>\u00a0both residential and commercial, creating a period of revitalization, a harmonic restoration. To hear it, take\u00a0to the tree-lined streets of\u00a0South Harlem<\/strong>, the new trendy part of town, to scout for beautifully refurbished\u00a019th-century brownstones<\/a>, pre-war walk-ups, and rowhouses on sale<\/strong>\u00a0at extremely interesting prices. Residences located by the wonderful Marcus Garvey Park<\/strong>\u00a0are a favorite of big families. Luxury duplexes and apartments<\/a> in modern mid-rises can be found in the around\u00a0Hamilton Grange, Mount Morris, Strivers Row<\/strong>, and Sugar Hill, <\/strong>which is every bit as sweet as it sounds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s decided, you\u2019re moving to Harlem because \u2026<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Harlem is the \u201cnew\u201d New York<\/li>\n
  2. You\u2019re always one step ahead of the good neighborhoods<\/li>\n
  3. Like Bill Clinton, you also plan to install your offices there<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Who\u00a0sets the tone?<\/h2>\n

    Easy, harlemites<\/em>\u00a0do, and they do it in style. On street corners, you\u2019ll find live-performances. In East Harlem - insiders know it as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio<\/em>\u00a0- people move to a Latin rhythm. Historic establishments from the great renaissance have been restored to their former glory. For example,\u00a0Minton\u2019s Playhous<\/strong>e<\/strong>, one of the original jazz clubs, is a perfect place for an elegant night out on the town; and at traditional restaurants like\u00a0Sylvia's<\/strong>, the \u201cQueen of Soulfood\u201d <\/strong>still reigns.<\/p>\n
