Harlem/Randall's Island Trip Photo Roll #4: Harlem "Flavor"

Saturday, June 24th 2023

A little bit more close-up look at the “real" in Harlem.

And when I say “a little bit", take me at my word. I didn't go more than a block off 125th St. I easily could've spent the whole time I was at the track meet diving deeper and snappin' pics here.

Open-air market under the Metro North elevated tracks.

Note to self… “OG New York Smoke Shop” coffee table book. These things are popping up everywhere. Capture the history as it happens. 😉

I'm sayin' it… That was the iconic NYC “Dollar Slice" until about a minute after the Big Guy got inserted 😠… There, I said it.

Correction on something I said previously… Jimmy Jazz was not the location of the notorious 1988 street ass-kicking of Mitch ‘Blood' Green by Mike Tyson. It was Dapper Dan's. 😏

What's better than ‘ghetto chicken' after the laundromat in the WP?

‘Ghetto chicken' from the Motherland, at 125th & 5th. 😉

Give it up one more time for the coolest Latino Oompa Band in all of New York City! 👏👏👏

The End. 😄
