Crack Is Wack is a mural created in 1986 by American artist and social activist Keith Haring. Located near the Harlem River Drive in East Harlem, the mural serves as a warning against crack cocaine use, which was rampant in major cities across the United States during the mid to late 1980s. As a symbol of anti-drug activism, Crack Is Wack commemorates Haring's powerful sociopolitical presence as an artist and remains a part of New York City's repertoire of iconic public art.

Sawyer Memorial Universalist Church was a historic church in Harlem, New York.The Second Universalist Society was organized early in the 19th century, and in 1832 acquired the Reformed Dutch Church at 97 Orchard Street. This church was torn down three decades later, and the society was in Oliver Street for a few years. Following the Civil War, the congregation moved in 1869 to Harlem where they met in a building on East 127th Street at the corner of Lexington Avenue. A new stone church was erected in 1879. At some point, the society merged or disbanded, and in 1889 the property became the Swedish Mission Chapel of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.

The Harlem African Burial Ground was a segregated cemetery created in 1668 for the burial of enslaved and freed Africans in the Dutch colony of Harlem, located at what is presently 2460 2nd Avenue in New York City. It was maintained until 1858 by the Elmendorf Reformed Church, the successor of the Low Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem which founded the cemetery. Although historians of New York and Harlem, as well as church historians, were aware of the cemetery's existence, the East Harlem community was largely unaware of its history until the late 1990s when the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) began planning the reconstruction of the nearby Willis Avenue Bridge. The investigation revealed that the construction might affect a colonial site and historic burial ground which was under the decommissioned East 126th Street Bus Depot. Per New York State law, the DOT conducted a Phase I-A historical and archeological survey, which verified the existence of the burial ground.

The Lit. Bar is an independent book store in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx in New York City, U.S. The store is owned by Bronx native Noëlle Santos, who opened it after being alarmed when she read in 2014 that a Barnes & Noble near Co-op City was going to close: while Manhattan had 90 book stores, the Barnes & Noble branch was the only book store in the Bronx. Santos describes herself as "a black Latina female from the community".Prior to opening her store, Santos had been a business major, but had no experience selling books. In 2019, shortly before the store opened, she told The New York Times, "I had never been inside an independent book store before I decided to open one." In 2015, Santos took an "Owning a Bookstore" course, registered the Lit. Bar brand, and then began to work in local book shops, volunteering her time in return for practical experience running a business. She entered the 2016 New York StartUp! Business Plan Competition, winning second place and using the $7,500 prize money to fund a pop-up book shop at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. At the end of 2016, Santos started a highly successful crowdsourcing campaign on Indiegogo called "Let's Bring a Goddamn Bookstore to the Bronx". The campaign, which featured a video with Santos performing a rap poem she had written, exceeded the $100,000 goal, raising what was variously cited as $170,000 or $200,000.The store opened on April 27, 2019, with an opening ceremony attended by Bronx Borough President Reuben Diaz, who recited some lines from Santos's poem: Thank you for opening your hearts and helping me show the world what many failed to see, that the Bronx is no longer burning except with the desire to read. And that we thrive just like the indie bookseller that you were told died. The numbers don't lie. The date was significant for being Independent Bookstore Day, a celebration of the independent bookstores sponsored by the American Booksellers Association on the last Saturday in April.The store is a combination book store and wine bar; the latter offering higher profit margins to offset the financial risks inherent in the independent book industry. Santos chose the South Bronx as her location to take advantage of the ongoing gentrification of the area, although also recognizing that rising rents due to gentrification are one of the problems facing independent book stores.

The Willis Avenue Bridge is a swing bridge that carries road traffic northbound (and bicycles and pedestrians both ways) over the Harlem River between the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, United States.

The bridge is part of the course for the annual New York City Marathon.

Renwick.The complex was designated a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in January 2007.On May 8, 2015, the parish was merged with that of St. Charles Borromeo, and on June 30, 2017, the church was deconsecrated.On January 23, 2021, the New York Post reported that the complex is to be sold, and a final sale at $11M was announced by Fr Greg Chisholm, SJ on April 1.

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem is a museum dedicated to preservation and celebration of the jazz history of Harlem, Manhattan, New York City. The idea for the museum was conceived in 1995. The museum was founded in 1997 by Leonard Garment, counsel to two U.S. presidents, and an accomplished jazz saxophonist, Abraham David Sofaer, a former U.S. district judge who gave the initial gift in honor of his brother-in-law Richard J. Scheuer, Jr., and matching funds from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation. For more than 15 years, the museum was based in East Harlem at 104 East 126th Street. On February 1, 2016, the museum re-opened in a new space on the ground floor of 58 West 129th Street in Central Harlem with approximately 1900 square feet of exhibition space.
