Buying Up
A sweatshirt for $220. An apartment for well over $2 million. Welcome to Harlem?

Hi Rachel - thanks so much for highlighting the article. As an avid reader of your blog, I can't help but gush over the writeup of N Harlem - a fantastic store that (as the Times mentions) carries Manhattan Diffusion - also handmade in Harlem! Go Uptown Go.
