About Dear Harlem
Dear Harlem is an indoor private event space of nearly 3,000 square feet at 238 West 116th Street in Harlem, New York, with a mix of formal seating and a lounge area. It is marketed for birthdays, baby showers and similar private celebrations, and it accommodates up to 100 guests, counting the guest of honor and anyone age 2 and over. Rentals are 7 hours. The first six hours cover setup and the celebration, and the final hour is for breakdown. The rental includes glasstop tables with light-up bases, clear ghost chairs, lounge furniture, white wall draping with uplighting, a drink station with coolers, a bartender, eight covered chafing dishes, two speakers, doorman and security, event attendants and full cleanup. Decorations are not included, though party props and table decor and balloon services can be arranged. The venue has no kitchen or prep area and does not provide catering or a DJ, so food, beverages and music are brought by the client. Access is a second-floor walk-up with no elevator, and parking is on the street or in nearby garages.
