Walking two blocks on 3rd Ave in East Harlem, NYC, from East 107th St to East 109th St. Also known as “El Barrio,” East Harlem is a vibrant showcase for Puerto Rican culture. Foodies pilgrimage to its mix of Latin American and Caribbean restaurants, as well as to iconic Italian restaurants like Rao’s and Patsy’s pizzeria. Exhibits at El Museo del Barrio reflect the local culture, as do the neighborhood's colorful street art and murals, some made by famous graffiti artists like Keith Haring. #new
