The neighborhood

East Harlem

East Harlem — El Barrio — is one of Manhattan's most culturally vibrant neighborhoods. The Latin music drifting from storefronts, the Museo del Barrio, and the sprawling La Marqueta market reflect deep Puerto Rican and Mexican roots, even as new development pushes in.
