Excellent guided walking tour of Harlem by a knowledgeable and fun guide. Then a visit to a neighbourhood church where there was fabulous singing and an uplifting sermon. Finally a super brunch in a local restaurant.

We all really enjoyed out tour leaders Caroline and Jonathan.. they were so knowledgeable and answered our questions plus they were fun. I sure gave me a very different idea and perception 0f what Harlem was like. Often movies give a -laa different and sometime bad idea 0f an area. I would certainly choose to live in the part of Harlem that we saw over the busy, loud Manhattan. The restaurant was excellent. Quiet, so we could really enjoy each others company and good food.
