Description

Get to know this legendary neighborhood in northern Manhattan. A visit on a Sunday that gives us the opportunity to visit the African-American area of the city. All this walking, an excellent experience. We leave at 8:00 AM from Times Square, from there we will travel by subway to uptown Manhattan and begin the route along 125th Street, also known as Martin Luther King Boulevard. There we will make stops at the legendary Apollo Theater (1914) where many figures from the entertainment world began their artistic careers, Areta Franklyn, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, James Brown, Sammy Davies JR, in addition to artists such as Lionel Richie, Michel Jackson and Steve Wonder among others. We will see the statue of Adam Clayton Powell Jr, the first African-American to come to Congress and represent Harlem. We make a stop in front of the old Theresa Hotel (1913), where figures such as Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy stayed. We will have time to walk through its streets, thus photographing the famous “brownstones” We finish the route by attending one of the religious services in a Baptist church, (duration 1 hour) If tourists wish, they can stay in Harlem after the mass or return on the subway again to the Times Square area. Metro tickets are not included, we recommend having a loaded metrocard for at least two trips.
