There is so much history and culture in Harlem and it truly doesn’t get enough recognition. Harlem is a part of Manhattan, but rarely is it referenced in this way. Since my first-ever visit to Harlem, NY, in the summer of 1997, I fell in love with the Black Mecca.

 

When I came to NY in 2003, there was hardly any mention of Harlem in mainstream media outlets such as Time Out or Zagats. I saw a space and opportunity to use my background and experiences to launch an Experience Harlem.

 

Launched in 2006, Experience Harlem is an award-winning media and consulting company highlighting upper Manhattan's best shopping, dining, arts & culture in our guides, blog, events and more.  

​

Since 2006 we have:

- Worked with over 200 small businesses, corporations, non-profits and arts & culture institutions

- Created and distributed over 500K guides

- Created and produced bar and restaurant crawl events between 2010 – 2015 delivering over 10,000 participants to restaurants in central Harlem and garnering thousands of media impressions including ABC, CBS, NBC, NY1, NY Amsterdam News and The Daily News and more.

- Delivered millions of impressions via our social media channels and emails.
