Recensione

“The minute you step out your door, everything in Harlem is in your face. There’s a beauty and a poetry in all that . . .You can’t feel Harlem if you’re driving by. But if you walk, you’ll see all kinds of thing.”
—Lana Turner
“ ‘A spa in Harlem? You really want to open a spa in Harlem?’ That’s what everybody asked my husband and me. A lot of people flat out said, ‘It ain’t gonna work.’ ”
—Dr. Cynthia Grace
“In February of 2000, I was on a beach in Mexico with my daughter, Lise. I said, ‘You know what, Lise? I’m moving to Harlem.’ She said, ‘You’re what?’ I said, ‘I’m moving to Harlem.’ She said, ‘Can we finish our vacation first?’ ”
—Clara Villarosa
