    One of the Harlem Market shops
    Mike R.

    Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market is a special place to stop at when fully exploring Harlem - worth a venture beyond 125th Street onto the 116th Street corridor of African shops and restaurants. The market stalls offer items like African colorful clothing, fabrics, jewelry, and beautifully handcrafted pieces. Market merchants are typically open to negotiate the price.

    Interesting African market that offers a bit of everything from clothing, jewelry, arts & crafts. Nice place to browse around. Vendors are laid back, they allow you to look around, not really pressuring you to buy anything which i like. The merchandise are justly price and unique. If you're on the look out for interesting African theme gifts this is the place to be.

    Located right by the late great Malcolm X blvd is this wonderful charm of a place. The Harlem Market serves all kinds of items that makes you feel like your back in the motherland of Africa. The Harlem Market is a large place where vendors sell all kinds of authentic African items such as clothing, jewerly, household items, mud blankets, oils, fabric etc. At the market, each vendor has their own section and they're able and willing to negotiate the cost of their items. I purchased a cool African print skirt and a African print fan and I was able to get what he called the sister discount! If you have an interest in items of the motherland come visit the Harlem Market. They also have little pop up shops across Harlem but nothing compares to the original Malcolm Shabazz.

    Located in the center of Le Petit Sénégal, do come here for some very nice handmade leather trinkets and your typical beads and necklaces and everything else Afrocentric, typically, directly imported from places such as Mali, Senegal, and Burkina and Faso to name a few. One can also find a good deal on some very nice Sterling silver pieces at very reasonable and negotiable prices. The wax fabrics are also very high quality for those of us who are into creating our own garments. However, if you're just looking for the finished products to sport around town and to festivals then one can definitely find no shortage of shirts dashikis, dresses, suits, etc. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a "look-see." If you're looking for gifts from the Motherland, then you must make the journey here to at least browse the numerous vendor selections.

    I had no idea this Plaza existed. I thought I was going to a free-standing Costco and was…read morepleasantly surprised to see that the store is part of a complex. Located between 116th and 119th Streets off the FDR Drive, it's a breeze to get there with the #6 subway, or city bus. I took the First Avenue M15. There's multi-level parking, though not cheap from what I heard. Current retailers in addition to Costco include Aldi, Ashley Home Store, Burlington, Marshall's, Bob's Discount Furniture, Planet Fitness and a couple of medical concerns. Reading a friend's review, I guess I'm lucky that the escalators and elevators were running. Apparently, they're frequently out-of-service. Realistically, if the same shopping mall was outside of NYC, it likely wouldn't make it. But one's expectations change in Manhattan.

There is a Planet Fitness on the 3rd floor and also a medical center on the 4th floor. Stores used to be open later, but now, due to crime, most of the places close early. Target closes at 8pm, and the other stores close by 9pm. Even the Planet Fitness that used to be 24 hours is now closing at 11pm on weekdays and 7pm on the weekend. I like working out at the Planet Fitness here since it's usually not too crowded and is maintained clean. The main issue seems to be that the escalator is often out of service. I usually then just go up the stairs by the parking area, but they should maintain the area better.

I went there to shop, and as soon as I walked onto the floor, security started following me. Being followed around ruined my entire shopping experience. Every time I go there, it feels very uncomfortable to shop. They have police at the entrance and security harassing Black men as they try to shop. Burlington Coat Factory is a terrible place for a Black man to shop because they racially profile you as a criminal. It's located in a Black community, yet it targets Black men while they're simply trying to shop. It does not feel safe shopping there. You're treated as guilty before you're even seen as a customer. I hate that Burlington Coat Factory made me feel this way. Just a terrible place to shop. "Boycott this Burlington Coat Factory!"

Management if you want people to spend time and money in your store make sure to have a restroom available. It's completely unacceptable and waste of time for your customers to go find a restroom that they can use. I went downstairs and asked Raymour and Flanigan if they knew of a public restroom and they were so kind to let me use theirs. Did I bother going back upstairs to Burlington? No. Why should I? What if I have to go to the bathroom again? I think it should be illegal for stores not to have restrooms available for their customers
