El Barrio is an area whose name can be translated as The Neighborhood.

The streets are full of “vibrant extended family feel. Friends hail one other warmly, children shout from stoops, and the spirit of Puerto Rico can be felt.”

There are many aspects to El Barrio that makes it distinct from any other neighborhood.

The Art, located in East Harlem, is a way for the people to communicate and to bind the area together.
