Lenox Avenue (Malcolm X Boulevard) is the primary north-south route through Harlem in the upper portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. This two-way street runs from Farmers' Gate at Central Park North (110th Street) to 147th Street. The avenue was the heart of Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s. The street brought together African-Americans, Latinos, British West Indians, and Spaniards who developed relationships over common interests such as jazz and food. Jazz flourished and grew like it could have in no other time and place.
