East Harlem (also known as Spanish Harlem, El Barrio and Hells Gate) is a sub-neighborhood within the Harlem neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is a lively, cultural, and close knit neighborhood. One of the few left in Manhattan.

East Harlem is one of the largest predominantly Latino communities in New York City. It includes the area formerly known as Italian Harlem, in which the remnants of a once-large Italian community remain. However, since the 1950s it has been dominated by residents of Puerto Rican descent, sometimes called Nuyoricans, as well as large populations of other Latin Americans and African-Americans.
