HARLEM — President Obama's final State of the Union Address Tuesday is being marked at several Uptown viewing parties hosted by various political organizations in Harlem, El Barrio and Washington Heights.
Some are in trendy restaurants while others are in community centers. All are free, though some require an RSVP.
Here’s a breakdown of some of Tuesday's parties:
This watch party starts at 8 p.m. and is catered by one of East Harlem's newest restaurants, Chef Eddie G's Kitchen. The free event will be in the Henry J Carter Center at 1752 Park Ave. and is open to the public, though registration is required. Organizing For Action, the group hosting the party, is inviting anyone who volunteered during the 2008 or 2012 campaigns.
A more causal affair in Harlem’s restaurant row, this watch party at Angel of Harlem at 2272 Eight Ave. also kicks off at 8 p.m. Harlem4Obama is billing the night as a celebration of Obama’s presidency and a kickoff party for his last year in office where he will “do everything in his power to define his legacy.”
The Hall of Justice at 106 West 145th St. opens its door at 8:30 p.m. and starts the show at 9 p.m. This is one of several watch parties the National Action Network is hosting in their chapters across the country.
►Barack Obama Democratic Club of Upper Manhattan
This event will be at the 181 Cabrini on 854 West 181st Street. The party is free and offers appetizers and all-night happy hour specials. There will also be a mysterious "very special guest."
