The Soul of Harlem Walking Tour in New York

Przegląd
Our 10,000-step journey will begin with a bird' s-eye view of 125th Street, Harlem's most popular street. The main themes we will discuss are the Harlem Renaissance and gentrification.

We walk by and discuss these famous places:
- The world's famous Apollo Theater
- Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant
- The home of Langston Hughes
- Astor's Row
- Several iconic murals

This tour is based on a book I have written, "You Are Here: A Geographic History of Enslaved and Free Africans in Manhattan from 1613 to 1865." I will use my tour guide experience (I have given over 700 tours) to make this a fun-filled tour. Best of all, you will have a Harlem experience—see the friendly culture, people, and places of Harlem.

If you are behind schedule, please get in touch with me ASAP. I will have a 5-minute grace period. Afterward, I will proceed to our first stop—the Metro-North Railroad (above-ground train station) directly across the street from the Ginjan Cafe on Park Ave.

Larry was a wonderful guide! He really loved this community deeply and showed us the things he held dear. I got a glimpse of this historical area, which would open the door for more explorations. What I hadn’t expected, though, was to know interesting fellow travelers during the tour: come on, nerds from all around the world, you’ll love a tour like this.

Our guide wove history and soul and culture into our tour at every turn. It was local and real, not superficially staged.
