Yes we have swag. Thanks @matthiaseli #leh #landmarkeastharlem #teeshirts
We are so proud of @preservenys' recognition of @ascendantnyc & LEH's neighborhood cultural resource report, drafted by our incredible preservation consultant @marissamarvelli - this work is imperative to the cultural legacies & historic resources of El Barrio and South East Harlem.
Unfortunately, due to rain, @uptowngrandcentral has to cancel this year’s Party On Park. We’ll be back at #PARTYonPark in 2023! And look out for more outreach events from us soon!

This week, as we enjoy a time-honored Thanksgiving holiday where our nation gives thanks for the colonizing efforts of Europeans to create our current America, we should pause to reflect on and honor the remarkable, original stewards of this land we call home. Indigenous history is this land’s foundation, and we have a lot to learn from indigenous peoples’ past and present stewardship of our beloved landscapes.

With October 15th marking the end to Hispanic Heritage Month, we thought we would spotlight an impressive NYC Landmark that has beautiful and deeply rooted ties to the Hispanic community of East Harlem. Designated as an Individual Landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1996, 1674 Lexington Avenue currently houses the Julia De Burgos Latino Cultural Center, but first began its life as Public School 72.
