Surprisingly, Harlem does not have a more established street art scene (aside from the occasional amateurish building tagging) so we are always glad to discover any new cool artwork when walking the neighborhood. With that said, we really appreciated a piece dedicated to one of the notable local jazz artists called
The Mayor of Harlem which
recently made an appearance at a building on West 145th Street in Hamilton Heights. One of the decorative windows that had been sealed off at the said apartment residence made a perfect frame for a charming dedication to a local music legend. Does anyone know the artist?
