Our Tour Guide on Oct. 9, 2022 was Deb and I highly recommend her for any future tours in Harlem. She had fantastic stories to share about historic places in the heartbeat of New York- HARLEM USA. We also met Carolyn the owner of the tour company who has a new game featuring historical facts about the area called Harlemopoly- be on the look out for that.
