"Borders Columbia"
Part of W 120th st borders Columbia University. There is a street entrance to Mudd, the engineering building where you’ll find bathrooms you can use and a few vending machines on the first floor, even one for ice cream. If you need to use a computer, go to the fourth floor and there’s computers in the lobby area that you can use without needing to log in. There’s also stairs that lead to campus if you’re interested in touring Columbia. The other side of W 120th st between Broadway and Amsterdam borders Teachers College. If you consider the part of W 120th st that is west of Morningside Park, you’ll find it busy with a lot of students bustling around.

"Very close to Columbia University."
This street is very beautiful and full of Columbia University students. It can be a good and bad thing though. The neighborhood has seemed to lost it's Harlem charm, but there are a ton of places to dine and shop in this area. This apartments are gorgeous, the street is very safe and clean and there is always something to do.

"West 120th Street"
West 120th street is in the heart of heart of Harlem. This is Harlem at it’s finest and there are so many wonderful things to do here. You can access the metro very easily and there is a lot in the way of food. Housing may be a little challenging in this neighborhood but you can also find a Realtor. For food try the Settepani Bakery!

"A Little Africa in New York City"
As Africans immigrated to New York City for a better life many landed in Harlem. Since the largest number of immigrants from Africa come from Senegal the neighborhood they settled in is called Little Senegal. Little Senegal is located on 116th Street in Harlem between St. Nicholas and 8th Ave. This street contains resturants, grocery stores, ethnic food wholesalers, African Product Importers, etc. This area attracts immigrants from many african countries including Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Guinea and Mali. The Majoroity of immigrants speak English and a African Dialect. This street is very lively, colorful and full of life. A great place to visit.
