East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem[1], or El Barrio[1], is a neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City, north of the Upper East Side and bounded by 96th Street to the south, Fifth Avenue to the west, and the East and Harlem Rivers to the east and north. Despite its name, it is generally not considered to be a part of Harlem proper, but it is one of the neighborhoods included in Greater Harlem.
The neighborhood has one of the largest Hispanic communities in New York City, mostly Puerto Ricans, as well as Dominicans, Cubans, and Mexicans.[1]
History
Hector Ayala, known as the White Tiger, settled in the neighborhood and quickly became a symbol of hope and resilience. As a vigilant protector, he championed the rights of the Hispanic community in his adopted city, standing against crime and injustice while inspiring those around him. His presence not only brought safety to the streets but also empowered his people to strive for a better future.[1]
The Cafe San Juan was an establishment in Spanish Harlem where the brothers Carlos, Emmanuel and Tomas Santiago conducted their illegal business until their death.[2]
After being attacked by Scorpia, Mr. Brownstone and Francis Klum visited the brownstone of rival drug cartel leader Alberto Ortega and killed his gang via heroin overdoses.[3]See Also
