"A spectacular space for art and exhibition, a wonderful fixture of the Harlem community"
"Amazing place that hosts interesting and relevant conversations with important feminist authors"
"Very difficult to load & unload merchandise. Was part of Harlem Fashion Week Cultural Exhibition. Food was ok @ Terenga. To this day building is not completed!"
"Celebration of the African Heritage Month was another opportunity to meet with friends, families and immigrants from all the 54 African Countries at the African Centre in New York. This Celebration brought together the African musical vibes from beautiful African music stars. The African centre is a beautiful place to visit for site seeing and tour. It has a restaurant where you can get breakfast and simple African delicacies from West to Central African meal. Nigerians are dominating in terms of numbers as they all seems to be present at every 5 African."
"Wonderful space.the most recent exhibit is really nice and at times heartbreaking. My only complaint is that it's not a bigger space with more exhibits."
