Sugar Hill

The “sweet life” of Black cultural thought leaders living in this West Harlem neighborhood during the 1920s gave Sugar Hill its moniker. Today, the area continues to exude elegance and culture. From world-class artistic institutions to prized international cuisine, Sugar Hill has something for everyone living in or visiting the area. History buffs flock to sites within and around the neighborhood, which is a designated Historic District spanning from Harlem to Hamilton Heights. It also contains a Federal District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
