Harlem Heights Review

So this past Monday the new BET show "Harlem Heights" debuted. Living in Harlem, I must say, I can appreciate the show for the way it shines light on various boutiques, lounges, and other hot spots throughout the Harlem neighborhood. I mean who knew there was a wine bar or a high end mens suit store literally 5 blocks away from my house. The show delves into the lives of these 8, 20something, positive men and woman living, loving, partying, working, and pursuing their dreams, but it also delves into the great neighborhood of Harlem. It lets people see what Harlem does have to offer, what makes it unique, and why its a Mecca for many African Americans today. Thats what i enjoyed most about the show...

"People from all walks of life flock to New York City. But the historic neighborhood of Harlem seems to attract the best and brightest of Black America. Some of the country's grandest young tastemakers now call the legendary neighborhood home, and this beautiful and eclectic bunch are determined to take the biggest bite they can out of the Big Apple. They work hard and play harder, living life to the fullest while acknowledging the past and confidently claiming the future. The glamorous lives of this new crop of the young Black elite are captured in BET’s newest reality series. HARLEM HEIGHTS provides a window into the fascinating world of New York's young, Black and fabulous. Set against the backdrop of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Harlem, the series features a diverse cast of eight young adults who share common goals as they make the post-college leap into adulthood, finding love and success in the big city on their own terms."
