I'm in Harlem New York right now.... My observations

[UpAndComing]

off topic...Brooklyn brehs...I drove back to NY a few weeks ago for my niece graduation party and had to go past grand army plaza...WHEN DID SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE take over that bytch?
the strip past the museum was looking like 50th street and 2nd ave?

Go south on Flatbush ave about 4 or 5 blocks, you'll see the black people lol

I remember one time the A wasn't stopping at West 4th so I took the 1 and figured I'd exit the train at Christopher and walk a few blocks. I'm heading down the block and there's a corner store with magazines in the window but every mag has shirtless dudes on the cover. There's more stores like that on the block. I look across the street, same thing. I hustled so fast to West 4th and was relieved to get the fukk outta there. To this day I've never gone back on that street.

Every straight New Yorker eventually learns not to go there.

 

[A1aaa]

they done gentrified the fukkkkk out of west harlem, that's a fact

I'm out here now, turned the corner on 126th, went a coffee shop not a single Black person inside

Edit: Just realised I"m a ten minute walk from Columbia, explains everything.

Was you in Sugar Hill or down by 125?

Thought it was pretty cool they had Caribbean American appreciation spreads on the bus stops

Is that Seinfeld Diner any good?

Cristopher St

That's like the Mecca of homosexuality. There has been a gay community there for 50+ years, and it's the site of the Stonewall riots

Seriously i ain't seen more gays at one place in my life. Literally everywhere stores included are covered in gay flag and lights. They got this spot on lockdown.

Basically Unharlem. There's even a street called "Gay Street" in that neighborhood

what is the racial breakdown of what you see (percentages)?

So I took a ride to Harlem to check out this black owned vegan restaurant. Food was pretty good(Seasoned Vegan)

I could see how someone black growing up here can be more open and/or apologetic towards others as it's mad different groups of people out here all in the same area.

It's a lil smelly though but that's how I remember New York(ain't been to NY in a few years.).

shyt is cool though I fukks with the vibe.

I've seen a few cacs that are definitely visiting Harlem .

Jesus i i took the train to Christopher street and it's VERY not Harlem here.

The parade is there Sunday, definitely not a Harlem environment

 

[m0rninggl0ry]

I'm from queens breh and I can tell you BK is dead... they got downtown BK looking like gawddamn manhattan... shyt is ridiculous...

Which part of Queens

 

[Cave Savage]

I'm in Midtown Manhattan right now (doing straight things) and I'm seeing rainbow flags everywhere. It seems like a lot of straight people celebrate pride too. Lots of bad bytches

Did I recommended Season Vegan to you or did you just find it on your own?

The food there is great and pretty cheap.

I wish that someone in Brooklyn had an equivalent.
