The NYC DOT Open Streets program transforms local roadways into car-free public spaces, allowing communities to use streets for walking, biking, outdoor dining, and cultural programming.
The Hamilton Heights-West Harlem DOT Open Street on West 142nd Street, between Amsterdam and Hamilton Place is in it's third year of activation and community building.
Free family-friendly events, kids street games and chalk art, art making and other workshops rotate through November 1st. We invite everyone to join this community networking event -- meet new neighbors or hang with people you know or are familiar --learn about the Hamilton Heights neighborhood while you relax.
We are open to volunteers and ideas for activation. Please email info@harlemonestop.org with your ideas or support.

New York saxophonist Chris Johansen has immersed himself in the jazz tradition. He has gained experience on the New York scene, as well as such far away places as The Netherlands and his hometown of Seattle, WA. Focusing on the music of the bebop era as well as the Great American Songbook, Johansen has worked with such greats as Dutch piano legend Frans Elsen and Seattle’s trumpet master Jay Thomas, among many others. During his years spent in The Netherlands, Johansen toured Ireland and mainland Europe with the group Equinox. Since moving to New York in 2014, he has collaborated with many of the jazz capital’s top straight-ahead player. (Source: chrisjohansenjazz.com)
Yasuyo Tanaka is an artist, educator, researcher, organizer, peace worker, and first-generation Japanese immigrant living in NYC. Born and raised in Japan, where the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, her hometown was damaged by radiation from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters and became a final disposal candidate site for nuclear waste. This awakened her to become a social practice artist, researching social and environmental issues and expressing her experiences and what she learned through art.
