This is a bad business idea that will fail. Both neighborhoods are crap. East harlem is probably the biggest dump on the island of Manhattan. Projects after tenements after projects after tenements aka not a lot of money. If you still decide to go ahead aim for west and central harlem south of 125 and west of fdb. That's where you have the most whites, asians and affluent blacks and hispanics aka money.
a sitting duck [business] for........hooded thugs that have this mindset, mentality. it's the truth....

"Police are looking for 10 teenagers wanted for stealing $12,000 worth of jackets from a clothing store in Brighton Beach, and assaulting two people in an incident last month.
According to authorities, on Sunday, Oct. 20 at around 5 p.m., the teens went into the store near Coney Island Avenue and Ocean View Avenue, grabbed 12 jackets from hangers and ran out with them, striking two of the store’s employees and pushing them to the ground as they fled. Police say the group headed eastbound on Brighton 10th Street. Police describe the suspects as being in their late teens."
….”The group walked into the shop at about 5 p.m., pulled a dozen jackets from hangers, and then took off without paying, police said. As they were fleeing the store, the thieves hit two employees and shoved one employee to the ground, police said. Thankfully, no one was hurt, the NYPD said. The group was seen fleeing eastward on Brighton 10th Street, police said. The 12 stolen jackets have a price tag of about $1,000 each, cops said…”
Where do they LEARN TO ACT LIKE THIS – WHERE? Who are all their parents ?? they’re teenage predators heading towards much much worse crimes as their diseased brains develop and as they get older and become “men/women.” OMG….
Neither neighborhood is "crap." East Harlem is still fairly poor and it would probably be a struggle for a higher-end leisure activity store to survive there. West Harlem...not so much. Either your info is outdated or you're just making assumptions based on perceived demographics.
I live in 10029. East Harlem has one of if not the highest crime rates in NYC (definitely Manhattan).
And now that Mayor Debullsh*t and the commies in the NYC counsel have caved to the mobs and defunded the NYPD, crime is skyrocketing.
There’s that and plus East Harlem doesn’t have the nice waterfront park and wealthy institutions (Columbia and the like). Convenience and price might ultimately bring massive changes, and the second avenue subway opening there would probably bring about pretty massive changes within a decade of opening.
