South Harlem is a neighborhood in the northern section of Manhattan's borough. The area stretches from Central Park North to West 125th Street, and from Morningside Park to Fifth Avenue. Since the late 20th century, the neighborhood has been experiencing the effects of gentrification and new capital. Great location and proximity to Morningside and Central Parks, as well as to the Columbia University, attracts new construction, new restaurant openings, and bars. Last year a Whole Foods opened on one of the area's most iconic corners: 125th Street and Lenox Avenue
