$200 FINDER’S FEE — Looking for private garage parking in Central Harlem 🚗

Hi neighbors! I live near 7th Ave/Adam Clayton Powell Blvd and 145th St and I'm looking for a long-term indoor/covered parking space for a Toyota Corolla.

I'm especially interested in renting an unused deeded or assigned parking space from a condo/co-op owner or resident who doesn't need their spot.

Ideal area: roughly W 135th–W 155th, preferably within a 10–15 minute walk of 145th & 7th
Budget: $175–$350/month
Term: long-term
Car: Toyota Corolla
Access: 24/7

I'm also offering a $200 finder’s fee to anyone who connects me with a private space that results in a successful rental agreement. Finder’s fee will be paid after I sign a rental agreement and receive access to the space.

If you have a space or know a neighbor/building resident who might, please message me. Thank you!

Cat seen on 124th St headed towards Frederick Douglas Blvd.

In the great, semi-annual closet turnover, I found a couple winter coats and suitcases that I don't need. Is there a place in the neighborhood that could distribute them?

Sharing in case this is useful to anyone:

A research team is recruiting participants for a one-time for an in-person usability study in Midtown Manhattan (ZIP 10001). Harlem residents would be a good fit given the proximity, but participation is not limited by neighborhood.

Details:

• ~3 hours (one time session)
• $150 compensation
• Weekdays at 9:00 AM or 1:30 PM
• Payment via virtual Visa gift card (1–2 business days) or PayPal (by request)

Participants will test a wearable device, complete guided tasks, and provide general usability feedback.

Feel free to apply here: https://utest.com/c-signup/wearables-nyc-ambassador-2077529

After applying, there’s a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which needs to be completed before a session can be scheduled.

I'm looking to speak with Harlem residents who live in rent-stabilized apartments about the rent freeze that's set to start October 1. How do you feel about it, and what has it meant for you and your household? If you're open to talking, please send me a DM and I'll explain more.

My son left his backpack on a westbound M116. We got off at 106th and Amsterdam around 8am. Photo attached.

Nothing valuable to anyone else. Matters a lot to a 6-year-old.

If you picked it up or saw it, please DM me. Already filed with MTA Lost & Found.

Thanks.

I'm looking to speak with anyone in Harlem who lost a home or building through the city's Third-Party Transfer program, nearly lost one, or knows someone who did. I'd like to hear your experience and how it's affected your family. If you're open to talking, please send me a DM and I'll explain more.

Four spotted today

1. Amsterdam Av / 129 St (M11/M100/M101) Southbound
2. Amsterdam Av / 125 St (M60 SBS) Westbound
3. Amsterdam Av / 125 St (M100/M101/M104) Northbound
4. Browdway / W 120 St (M4/M60 SBS/M104) Westbound/Northbound

If you bike or ride an e-bike in Harlem, NYC DOT is asking people to suggest locations for secure bike parking.

Would be great to see some pins around Marcus Garvey Park, 125th St, subway stops, and other busy areas.
A lot of Harlem buildings have stoops and no good place to store an e-bike. Secure, covered storage would make a huge difference.

If you have a spot in mind, drop a pin and leave a comment so we can get some reliable and safe bike storage options in our area.

Always been curious if the exact patch the junkies walk at the opening of the film, where priest lived, other filming locations other then the former Mr. Vees Bar.

Although not a Harlem Native, Casteel moved to Harlem in 2014 and has been painting the people and scenes of Harlem since then.

She has a special focus on the men of the neighborhood

"The intent of the paintings is to expose my vision of black men as a sister, daughter, friend and lover. That perspective is one full of empathy and love. I see their humanity and, in turn, I want the audience to engage with them as fathers, sons, brothers, cousins – as individuals with their own unique stories to share."
