The 2010 Curbed Cup Neighborhood of the Year: Harlem’s FDB!

In 2010, Harlem’s Frederick Douglass Boulevard got a boutique hotel, a beer garden, a supermarket, a luxury condo surge and, most importantly, a Curbed Cup championship! Only The Situation and the GOP had better years. The south/central Harlem microhood, referred to by some as Harlem’s new “Gold Coast,” easily defeated defending champion Williamsburg (Northside, specifically) in the tournament finals, claiming 56.6% of the 2,362 total votes. Will this stunning victory go to Harlem’s head? More importantly, will real estate brokers work “2010 Curbed Cup winner!” into real estate listings? Only time will tell, but for now, this gentle golf clap goes out to you, FDB.
