===Local beer===
Beer brewing has been a very important industry for Haarlem going back to the 15th century, when there were no fewer than 100 breweries in the city. When the town's 750th anniversary was celebrated in 1995 a group of enthusiasts re-created an original Haarlem beer and brewed it again. The beer is called Jopenbier, or [[Jopen]] for short, named after an old type of beer barrel.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.jopen.nl/en/about-jopen-beer/ |title=About Jopen beer |publisher=Jopen Bier |access-date=1 September 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020214412/http://www.jopen.nl/en/about-jopen-beer/ |archive-date=20 October 2013}}</ref>

===Harlem, Manhattan===
In 1658, [[Peter Stuyvesant]], the [[Director-General of New Netherland|Director-General]] of the Dutch colony of Nieuw Nederland ([[New Netherland]]), founded the settlement of Nieuw Haarlem in the northern part of [[Manhattan Island]] as an outpost of Nieuw Amsterdam ([[New Amsterdam]]) at the southern tip of the island. After the [[Kingdom of England|English]] capture of New Netherland in 1664, the new English colonial administration renamed both the colony and its principal city "New York," but left the name of Haarlem more or less unchanged. The spelling changed to [[Harlem]] in keeping with contemporary English usage, and the district grew (as part of the borough of [[Manhattan]]) into the vibrant centre of [[African American]] culture in New York City and the United States generally by the 20th century.

=== Lautje, statue on the Grote Markt ===
On the main square, the Grote Markt, stands a statue of [[Laurens Janszoon Coster]], nicknamed 'Lautje' by locals. Laurens Janszoon Coster is credited with being the inventor of a printing press using movable type, since he's said to have invented it simultaneously with [[Johannes Gutenberg]], but only some people believe this. In the past, the statue was moved a couple of times. It once stood at the other side of the square and even perched at the [[Riviervismarkt]], near the Philharmonie.

=== Universities ===
The group of universities [[SRH Hochschule Berlin|SRH]] opened a campus in Haarlem in 2022 on the site of the former Cupola prison.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 March 2023 |title=The historical prison of 1901 transformed into the Haarlem Campus of today & tomorrow!|url=https://expatshaarlem.nl/the-historical-prison-of-1901-transformed-into-the-haarlem-campus-of-today-tomorrow |access-date=22 June 2024|website=expatshaarlem.nl}}</ref>

=== Meat advertisement ban ===
In September 2022, the Haarlem municipal council adopted an ordinance prohibiting advertisements for meat and [[fossil fuel|fossil fuels]] in public spaces because of their [[climate change|climate impact]]. The ordinance took effect in 2024, making Haarlem the first city in the world to ban such advertisements.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Boffey |first1=Daniel |title=Dutch city becomes world’s first to ban meat adverts in public |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/haarlem-netherlands-bans-meat-adverts-public-spaces-climate-crisis |access-date=13 June 2025 |work=The Guardian |date=6 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220907000142/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/haarlem-netherlands-bans-meat-adverts-public-spaces-climate-crisis |archive-date=7 September 2022 |url-status=live }}</ref>
