Since I’m in NYC so often, I would have to say my favorite street in the city (it’s actually an avenue) is First Avenue. For me, First Avenue represents everything that’s great about NYC, in that the city provides enrichment in all shapes and sizes.
From all the way down south at First Avenue and First Street, Juice Press is creating the best cold pressed juice in the city; to Midtown where the wonderful medical facilities like NYU Langone Medical Center are located; and to the Upper East Side at 74th Street for a great Italian meal at Campagnola. Finally, we end up at First Avenue and 100th Street where the real excitement begins. Take a left from First Avenue onto 100th Street and you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
While a bit out of place amongst the grey scenery of city buildings, you’ll face the most beautiful baseball field in New York City, second only to Yankee Stadium, and the home of Harlem RBI. Harlem RBI is an organization that has been revitalizing the community and impacting youth of all ages for more than 20 years.
For three months, from April through June, Harlem RBI and DREAM Charter School will be featured on a big screen in Times Square!
New York Yankee Mark Teixeira joined DREAM Scholars to dig the first shovels into the future site of Harlem RBI and DREAM on February 7, 2013.
