Yeah, I was wondering the same.
Don’t be too hard on the guy. The iHop in Harlem gets 4.5/5 stars on Tripadvisor!
Yes, it has. Harlem has many gorgeous homes that have been rehabbed over the years - rich whites and blacks moved in.
My take on how tourists like this go wrong is that they don’t pass the maniac by who panhandles them (or harasses them). Tourists tend to engage with these maniacs and the result is not pretty.
What?! After only three assaults (two of them aggrevated)?! What is the world coming to? Where's the compassion?

I worked in those triple digit numbered streets in NYC in the 1970s, on two different jobs/occasions. I never had a single problem, not even when leaving the office very late at night and forgetting (remembering incorrectly) which street I had parked my car on that morning.
1. Many neighborhoods in NYC in Brooklyn and the Bronx were worse from crime than Harlem.
2. Most violent crime was drug related and carried out between those dealing with drugs.
3. Random attacks by some crazy individual were not particular to or most frequent to Harlem than elsewhere.
French Tourist brutally stabbed in neck by Jihadi Khalief Young in vicious unprovoked Valentine's Day attack
Why isn't the charge Attempted Murder & "a Hate Crime"
Last year, Khalief beat a random woman & was released from Jail in a DAY
A&E could create an entire series based on hidden camera’s at the Harlem IHOP..
Must be pretty insane there on a late saturday night.
DeBlasio will have him out on bail by the end of the day.
Harlem isnt as bad as it was in the 70s and 80s, but still there is NO reason to go to 132nd St.
I think Europeans hear Harlem and think its some sort of cultural Wakanda.
I always identify dangerous local areas in my Trip-advisor reviews—I may have saved many lives of distant strangers (tourists) over the years.
I get to NYC all the time for work but it is rare I leave midtown area and I don’t go out at night past about 8:30pm...occasionally finishing dinner about 9.
I just watched a Thomas Sowell interview from the Hoover Institution where he talks about being a boy living in Harlem, getting up at 3:00 AM to to go outside and visiting with a little old white guy who ran a stand selling newspapers and magazines.
He opined that if he did that today, the sanity of both him as a black man and that of the little old white guy would be questioned.
Basically, things were far safer for both blacks and whites back in the Forties in places like Harlem.
This POS should have been put away the first violation.
Typical violent Democrat.
Must have left his pistol back home in Paris.
...” the religion of peace....” words from Pres.
George W. Bush not long after 9-11 ....yeah, sure.....
Obviously he knew nothing and did not care to research about where he was headed. Fail on so many levels.
