125th Street: Still the Real Thing

125th Street is Harlem's commercial and cultural main street, and it earns that status on multiple levels. The Apollo Theater, which has been staging Amateur Night since 1934 and launched the careers of Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder among many others, is still running as a living performance venue rather than a museum piece. The Studio Museum in Harlem has been a center for artists of African descent for more than fifty years. The street's mix of local businesses and community institutions reflects a neighborhood that has maintained its identity through decades of significant change.

The Food Scene Harlem Has Always Had

Harlem's food is one of the most genuine and underappreciated in Manhattan. Soul food institutions that have been feeding the community for generations sit alongside Ethiopian, West African, Caribbean, and Senegalese restaurants that reflect the neighborhood's diverse communities. Sylvia's on Lenox Avenue has earned its iconic status over decades of consistent cooking. Red Rooster brought national attention to Harlem's dining scene when it opened and has remained a genuine neighborhood anchor. The less celebrated spots along Frederick Douglass Boulevard and 116th Street are where the real discoveries tend to be.

Weed Delivery in Harlem: Summer and Why It Makes Sense

Summer in Harlem is one of the great New York experiences. Harlem Week in August is one of the longest-running community festivals in the city. The outdoor energy on the boulevards on a warm evening is as good as anything happening downtown. Block parties, outdoor concerts, and the general feeling that the neighborhood has moved outside for the season.

The Flowery UWS delivers weed across Harlem, all year. Whether you are getting ready for an evening out, coming back from Marcus Garvey Park, or settling in for the night, order online and have it delivered when you are home.
