harlem and upper manhattan

harlem, america's most famous black community, is home to an increasingly diverse mix of cultures. east harlem, the traditional center of latino culture in manhattan, has been joined by the lively, predominantly dominican neighborhood of west harlem, and washington heights to the north. washington heights is notable for fort tryon park, the home of the cloisters (the medieval annex of the metropolitan museum). at the northern tip of manhattan, inwood's claim to fame is inwood park, the last remaining virgin forest on the island.
