My wife is from India. She's in Mumbai right now. Tells me every night what a shithole it is, people spitting all over, dropping their pants to take a dump in the street, incredibly overcrowded public transport. A true shithole. But maybe she is being racist. She's the only White Supremacist Indian I've ever met. Loves the White neighborhoods. Won't go into the Indian communities.
I thought El Barrio was East Harlem, like 116 between 1/3 aves? Either way the Heights is good, especially if you like the mamacitas!

Yeah the east side is Spanish Harlem but Washington Heights is mostly Dominican and Colombian (with some Puerto Ricans spilling over from the Bronx). I don't like the Dominican food here tho, too greasy. The best ethnic food around here is Indian and Mexican and Japanese. The pizza is ok. Better to travel into the Bronx and get some real Little Italy-type Italian.
PS: I'm originally from New Jersey so we wrote the book on shitholes (Newark or Paterson anyone?). LOL
