The rivers surrounding New York City are the Hudson River, the Harlem River and the East River. However, the Hudson is the only true river of the three. The Harlem and East Rivers are tidal straits.

It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor. The Harlem River branches off of the Hudson River, and flows down over the top of Manhattan and the bottom of the Bronx, into the East River.

Is Harlem a city?
No, Harlem is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City. Actually, it is technically two neighborhoods, West Harlem and East Harlem. East Harlem is also called Spanish Harlem, because it is home to a very large Latino community. West Harlem, on the other hand, is primarily (and historically) a black neighborhood, although in recent years it has seen a big increase in its white population. The neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries, so everybody has a different opinion as to exactly where Harlem begins and ends. Generally speaking, however, West Harlem runs south to north from West 110th Street to West 145th Street, and west to east from the Hudson River to Park Avenue. East Harlem, or Spanish Harlem, runs south to north from East 96th Street to East 145th Street, and west to east from Park Avenue to the East River. 125th Street, which is a two-laned street that runs west/east and east/west from the Hudson River to the East River and back, is considered the heart of Harlem.
