Harlem Java House

10/16/2026

Wow!!! Nearly a century ago, people were building their lives, chasing dreams, and creating memories on this very street. Now it’s our turn. What an absolute privilege!

Kinda crazy to think that someday, long after we’re gone, another generation will look back at photographs of the Harlem we know and love today… That’s such a beautiful reminder that we’re not just inheriting a legacy. We’re responsible for leaving one, too!!

Thank you The Harlem Museum and Welcome Center Home of the Laurel and Hardy Museum for helping us honor the past so that we can love our community in the present!!!

And on that note… New Street has a few more memories to make this November. Our Fall Market is coming back! 🤎

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday, folks. 🕰

Does this street in this photo look familiar? Well, that's because it still exists in Downtown Harlem! New Street is in this undated photograph.

Our best guess is that this photograph was taken sometime around 1920-1940 (1930s is probably more accurate). Harlem Java House will be having a fall market soon on this very street (now paved!)

What historic events were happening in the 1930s?

We'll go first - Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932!

Picture donated by *checks notes* also Ms. L. Sargent.
