Lenox Avenue / Malcolm X Boulevard is the primary north-south route through Harlem in the upper portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. This two-way street runs from Farmers' Gate at Central Park North (110th Street) to 147th Street.[1]
Originally a part of Sixth Avenue, it was renamed in late 1887[2] for philanthropist James Lenox. In 1987, it was co-named Malcolm X Boulevard (both names are officially recognized), in honor of the slain civil rights leader.[3][4]
The Savoy Ballroom was located between 140th and 141st Streets on Lenox Avenue.[5]
A different Malcolm X Boulevard is located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
